Ecuador: 45 mayoral candidates qualified for Guayas sectional elections

Ecuador's electoral authority has qualified 45 mayoral candidates across Guayas' 25 cantons for the upcoming sectional elections, with the final ballot list due November 9. This is a routine administrative step in the electoral process, indicating no major disqualifications or controversies at this stage. The development is notable for its scale but does not signal a shift in political dynamics.
