Correísmo pushes null vote in Manabí as options narrow for sectionals

With Luisa González absent and Jaime Estrada possibly barred from the ballot, Correísmo is urging null votes in Ecuador's sectional elections, hoping to force a repeat. This signals a strategic shift to delegitimize the electoral process in Manabí, potentially escalating political tension. The outcome hinges on whether the null vote can actually trigger a re-run, which remains uncertain.
