General elections were held in Ecuador on 15 October 2006 to elect a new President and National Congress.

As no presidential candidate received a majority of the vote in the first round, a run-off was held on 26 November, which was won by Rafael Correa of the PAIS Alliance.

Run-off

On 28 November 2006, Correa was declared the winner, although Noboa did not accept defeat, and suggested that he might challenge the validity of the ballot.

According to the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), out of 97.29% of the votes counted, 57.07% were for Correa and 42.96% for Noboa. Among others, the Organization of American States, US ambassador Linda Jewell, and representatives of many South American countries have recognised Correa as the winner of the election. However, as of 29 November 2006, Álvaro Noboa had still not admitted defeat.

Rafael Correa was duly sworn in as president for a four-year term on 15 January 2007.
