There have been protests in Ecuador after vote counting in the country’s presidential election dragged into a third day.
Some two hundred opposition supporters gathered outside the electoral Commission in Quito earlier to demand a speedier and more transparent count.
For now, leftist candidate Lenin Moreno leads, but he could fall just short of the 40 percent needed to win outright.
‘‘We know that the projections could give us victory in the first round. We are waiting in a democratic and peaceful manner for the results from electoral commission, ‘’ Lenin Moreno said.
