GUAYAQUIL (Reuters) - Ecuadorean President Daniel Noboa said in a decree on Tuesday that interim vice-president Cynthia Natalie Gellibert will serve as acting president from Thursday to Sunday so he can participate in campaigning for his re-election.

A debate about who would act as president if Noboa were to take time out for the campaign has made waves in Ecuador amid a long-running spat between him and elected vice-president Veronica Abad.
