QUITO (Reuters) -Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa has won significant voter support for a raft of security measures he says will help him fight sharply increased crime, a quick vote tally by the national electoral council showed on Sunday.
The successful measures - including joint police-military patrols, the extradition of wanted criminals and longer sentences for terrorism and murder, among other crimes - are intended to battle spiking violence that has made international headlines.
