Daniel Noboa , Ecuador 's youngest president, took office in 2023 to complete the term of Guillermo Lasso , who dissolved the National Assembly that year .

Noboa inherited a tumultuous situation, with the murder rate quadrupling from 2018 to 2022 .

If reelected, Noboa plans to double down on tough-on-crime policies, including construction of a $52 million , 800-person maximum-security prison to house the country's most dangerous drug lords.
