Exit polls
in Ecuador point to Alianza Pais candidate Lenin Moreno winning the
country’s presidential election with 42.9 percent of votes, Opinion
Publica reported. Polling stations in Ecuador closed at 5 p.m. local
time.
Moreno, who
would take office on May 24 if elected, leads top opposition rivals
Guillermo Lasso, Cynthia Viteri, and Paco Moncayo, who have 27.7,
14.7, and 6.1 percent respectively.
Other exit

“We
will continue to serve the people, to continue our process, and to
build our revolution," Moreno said during a televised press
conference shortly after the polls closed. "But as the
respectful citizens that we are, we will await the final results to
see what's next."
