Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa won reelection in a runoff vote Sunday, according to preliminary results. But his leftist rival Luisa González is challenging the official results, which show Noboa with a lead of nearly 12 points.

Luisa González: “One of the exit polls gave us the victory. None showed a difference like the one we are seeing at the Electoral Council. None. Therefore, I report, before my people, before the media, before the world, that Ecuador is experiencing a dictatorship. We are facing the worst and most grotesque electoral fraud in the history of the Republic of Ecuador.”

Noboa is a businessman and heir to a banana industry fortune who’s made cracking down on crime his main priority. He’s been condemned for skirting legal norms in the process, including declaring a state of internal armed conflict to more easily deploy the military. Noboa declared another state of emergency on the eve of Sunday’s election, barring protests and other gatherings, and authorizing warrantless searches.
