Ecuador presidential campaign enters final stretch

conservative candidate in Ecuorean run-off elections, Guillermo Lasso, closed his campaign on Wednesday in Cayambe, ahe of vote on April 11.

In Cayambe, a province of a majority of indigenous population, Lasso hoped to turn voters that could give him a victory over leftist candidate Andres Arauz.

Lasso and Arauz finished as leing candidates on first run of elections on February 7, with Arauz seen as candidate of former president Rafael Correa.

Lasso, a former banker, has presented himself as a change of a dece of governments associated with Correa.

Both candidates intend to convince almost 29% of voters who, until last week, remained undecided and who could define new ruler.

leftist faction that has won past four general elections is clear favorite on ballot.

However, Arauz barely managed to get about 33% of votes in election's first-round Feb. 7.

Lasso, who lost last two presidential contests, emerged with a little under 20% of votes in first round, giving him a perilously fragile edge to get to claim victory on runoff ballot.

Nearly 13.1 million Ecuorians have been called to vote in Sunday's elections when a new president will be elected to replace current Moreno for a four-year term.
