Ecuador: Rafael Correa's Party Barred From Running in Elections [View all]
Published 19 July 2020 (2 hours 18 minutes ago)
Ecuador's National Electoral Council (CNE) on Sunday suspended four political movements for the 2021 elections, including the Social Commitment Force Party, an organization led by former president Rafael Correa.
. . .
The legal representatives of the suspended political organizations will have ten days to present their discharges.
"The suspension of these political organizations constitutes a reasoned request by the control body," the CNE stated.
. . .
The decision comes after the recommendations by the Comptroller's Office which says that these political parties were illegally registered.
"This decision is part of the right-wings agenda to prevent him from running for office," Former President Rafael Correa denounced on Twitter.
