QUITO (Reuters) - Daniel Noboa, who grew up accompanying his businessman father during the latter's five failed attempts to become president of Ecuador, is betting his employment-focused campaign can fulfill his family's ambition to clinch the presidency.

The 35-year-old Guayaquil native, heir to banana baron Alvaro Noboa's business empire, will face Luisa Gonzalez, the protégé of former President Rafael Correa, in the Sunday contest.
