Ecuador: Ex-CPCCS Head Challenges CNE Candidate List Publication

Sofía Almeida, former president of Ecuador's Council for Citizen Participation (CPCCS), is contesting the National Electoral Council's (CNE) publication of the official candidate list, alleging arbitrary action despite her disqualification by the Electoral Tribunal (TCE). The dispute centers on electoral procedure and could affect the composition of the council. The outcome may influence institutional balance in Ecuador's participatory democracy.
