Ecuadorian ruling party candidate Lenin Moreno won Sunday's presidential election, the country's National Electoral Council (CNE) said on Tuesday. Moreno garnered 51.16 percent of valid votes while opposition challenger Guillermo Lasso grasped 48.84 percent, with 99.65 percent of votes counted, Juan Pablo Pozo, CNE president, said at a press conference. Pozo congratulated the Ecuadorian people for having peacefully elected their next president and vice-president. The CNE confirmed that Moreno, candidate of the ruling PAIS Alliance, will succeed President Rafael Correa. Jorge Glas, Moreno's running mate, will continue to serve as the South American country's vice president, a position in which he has served since 2013.
