The President of the Republic, Lenín Moreno, asked the electoral bodies not to jeopardize the date of the elections or the confidence that the country should have in the elections scheduled for February 7, 2021.
The pronouncement of President Morenos comes in the midst of a conflict of competences between the National Electoral Council (CNE) and the Contentious Electoral Tribunal (TCE), regarding the qualification or not of Álvaro Noboa’s candidacy by the Social Justice movement.
“I see the electoral issue with concern and this apparent disagreement (already in several cases) between the CNE and the TCE,” Moreno posted on his Twitter account this Wednesday, December 16, 2020. He asked to resolve any difference in strict compliance with the law .
In the session that the Plenary of the CNE was expected to decide on Noboa’s candidacy, they approved a resolution in which they asked the Constitutional Court (CC) to resolve an alleged conflict of powers between the two electoral bodies.
They point out that there was no contempt on the part of the CNE, as stated by the president of the TCE, Arturo Cabrera, who assured that the National Electoral Council has not complied with the judgment handed down by the Court for 44 days.
Social Justice was one of the four movements eliminated from the registry of political organizations by the CNE, following a report by the Comptroller’s Office. The TCE annulled this resolution, but Social Justice was without legal life for 49 days, of the 103 days provided for the registration of candidacies.
The decision to give way to the registration of the Social Justice candidates was taken on October 30. Since then, Cabrera criticized, it is 44 days that the CNE, led by Diana Atamaint, “deliberately” has not complied with his sentence. While Atamaint indicated that this sentence has been complied with.
