Ecuador: Correísmo and Socialists finalize alliances in 7 provinces for 2026 elections

Ecuador's Citizens' Revolution (Correísmo) and the Socialist Party have formalized electoral alliances in seven of 24 provinces for the 2026 provincial elections. This consolidates a leftist coalition ahead of the vote, though the specific provinces and candidate lists remain partially detailed. The alliance could shift provincial power balances, but its national impact is limited.
