2013 Ecuadorian General Election
General elections were held in Ecuador on 17 February 2013 to elect the President, the National Assembly, Provincial Assemblies and members of the Andean Parliament. The incumbent President Rafael Correa was re-elected by a wide margin. Correa's closest electoral rival, Guillermo Lasso, conceded the election shortly after it concluded. The vote had been set for January 2013, but was put back a month to allow a full year to elapse after the reform of election rules. This was the first election since 1996 held after the natural expiration of a four-year presidential term. This was due to a decade of political and economical instability that Ecuador experienced after Abdalá Bucaram was impeached by the former Congress, in late 1997, and that lasted until Correa's inauguration in early 2007.
