💨 Abstract

Ecuador's national assembly elected Niels Olsen, a close ally of President Daniel Noboa, as its new president, securing a parliamentary majority for Noboa. Olsen, a former tourism minister, pledges to unite the assembly and drive significant changes. Noboa, who won a full term in April, aims to combat rising crime and bolster the economy with private investment and reforms. Despite increased violence, Noboa seeks to reform the justice system and continues his crackdown on criminal gangs.
