STORYLINE:
Guests from around the world arrived in Ecuador on Friday ahead of the inauguration of Daniel Noboa as president for a second term.
Among the first to arrive were Morocco’s Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and the US health secretary Robert. F. Kennedy Jr.
According to Ecuador’s Foreign Ministry, 74 countries and 19 international organizations are sending representatives to Saturday’s ceremony.
Noboa won re-election by defeating leftist opposition candidate Luisa González by a margin of more than one million votes, according to electoral authorities.
He gained popularity for his crackdown on organized crime at a time when violence has soared, prompting him to declare that Ecuador was in an “internal armed conflict.”
The new term will allow the 37-year-old heir to a fortune built on the banana trade to continue some of his no-holds-barred crimefighting strategies that have tested the limits of laws and norms of governing.
