QUITO/GUAYAQUIL (Reuters) - Ecuador's presidential race will go to an April 13 runoff if current trends in the count persist, Diana Atamaint, the head of the national electoral council said late on Sunday, as incumbent Daniel Noboa led leftist Luisa Gonzalez by less than 1%.
The rivals also faced one another in 2023, when they fought to win the chance to finish out the truncated term of Noboa's predecessor.
