In Quito, González’s campaign is far less visible—a few posters here and there, but nothing close to Noboa’s presence. The same goes for the other 14 candidates 3/4.

Polls predict Noboa will win – likely in a runoff in April. But that doesn’t mean he’s popular. For some, a vote for Noboa is about continuity; for others, it’s simply a vote against Luisa González, his main rival. Anti-Noboa graffiti scattered throughout the city also hints at discontent 2/4
