Ecuador's election authority declared incumbent Daniel Noboa the winner of a presidential runoff vote on Sunday, April 13, after the 37-year-old leader defeated his leftist rival by a bigger-than-expected margin.

With 90% of the votes counted, Noboa led Luisa Gonzalez 56% to 44%, according to the official tally, prompting the National Election Council to call the race.

Gonzalez has questioned the results and indicated she will call for a recount.
