Luisa González

Luisa Magdalena González Alcivar (born 22 November 1977) is an Ecuadorian politician and lawyer who ran for President of Ecuador in the 2023 general election. She was elected to the National Assembly in the 2021 legislative elections representing the Province of Manabi.

González served in various positions in the government of Rafael Correa from 2007 to 2017. She worked as the Ecuadorian general counsel in Spain prior to entering politics and briefly was the Secretary of Public Administration under the Rafael Correa administration from January to May 2017. She also served various positions in the Tourism Ministry in the Correa government.

In June 2023, González announced her candidacy for president in the 2023 election, one month after her tenure at the National Assembly ended when the incumbent president, Guillermo Lasso, invoked a measure from Ecuador's constitution known as ''muerte cruzada''. She advanced to the October run-off election after coming in first place in the first round of voting, losing to Daniel Noboa in the runoff election. Provided by Wikipedia
