QUITO (Reuters) - European Union observers said on Tuesday that they "categorically" reject allegations of fraud in Ecuador's Sunday presidential elections, joining a chorus of rejections of leftist Luisa Gonzalez's call for a recount.

Electoral authorities, the Organization of American States, the United States and members of Gonzalez's own party have said that President Daniel Noboa secured a full term in the vote.
