PSC taps physician Juan Carlos González for Guayas prefecture run in 2026

Ecuador's Social Christian Party (PSC) has selected emergency physician Juan Carlos González Alcívar as its candidate for the Guayas Prefecture in the 2026 elections. The move signals a strategic bet on a political outsider with a medical background, though his public profile and electoral viability remain untested. This is a routine domestic political development with no immediate market or geopolitical implications.
