Security is at the center of Ecuador’s upcoming presidential elections, as incumbent Daniel Noboa looks to secure a full term.
He is facing competition from Luisa Gonzalez, a close ally of former leftist president Rafael Correa.
Noboa has initiated a fierce campaign against drug cartels, with military deployments and emergency measures.
Critics say his approach has worsened gang violence in the country.
