Ecuador's Correísmo registers 5,742 candidates; 57% fail qualification

Ecuador's Correísmo movement submitted 5,742 candidates for nationwide elections, but 57% were disqualified, including Otavalo Mayor Anabel Hermosa seeking re-election. The high rejection rate signals potential organizational failures or legal hurdles, which could weaken the movement's electoral position. The impact depends on whether disqualifications are upheld and whether replacements are allowed.
