==Ecuadorian general election, 2023==

{{Main|2023 Ecuadorian general election}}

The leftist [[Citizen Revolution Movement|Citizens' Revolution movement]], conservative [[Social Christian Party (Ecuador)|Social Christian Party]] and incoming president Noboa's centrist [[National Democratic Action (Ecuador)|National Democratic Action]], along with other minor parties agreed to form a legislative majority bringing it to at least 85 seats.<ref name=":0" />

President Noboa said the coalition is meant to support different proposals, including plans to generate jobs, especially for young people, and tackle violence. It will also be able to name the heads of key legislative committees.<ref name=":0" /> Analysts stated the coalition could help Noboa ensure he is able to govern - unlike his predecessor Lasso - during his truncated term. "Noboa wants to have 18 months of relative calm by reaching these agreements with both political parties," said political analyst Alfredo Espinosa, adding Noboa recognizes he will not achieve anything without Correa's support.<ref name=":0" />

The [[Movimiento Construye]] of assassinated anti-corruption presidential candidate [[Fernando Villavicencio]], became the main opposition party for the 2023-2025 legislative term.<ref name=":0" />{{Election results|firstround=National|secondround=Provincial|thirdround=Overseas|party1=[[Citizen Revolution Movement]]{{efn|Supported by MAR70 and PLAN77 in [[El Oro Province|El Oro]] and by Sumak Yuyay in [[Napo Province|Napo]]. 41 provincial seats won by RC, one won by PLAN77.}}|votes1=3326110|seats1=6|votes1_2=3059898|seats1_2=42|party2=[[Movimiento Construye]]|votes2=1707682|seats2=3|votes2_2=1428869|seats2_2=24|party3=[[National Democratic Action (Ecuador)|National Democratic Action]]|votes3=1219254|seats3=2|votes3_2=884747|seats3_2=11|party4=[[Social Christian Party (Ecuador)|Social Christian Party]]{{efn|Supported by [[:es:Movimiento Cívico Madera de Guerrero|MDG]] in [[Guayas Province|Guayas]] and by Caminantes in [[Manabi Province|Manabi]].}}|votes4=996206|seats4=2|votes4_2=948333|seats4_2=12|party5=Actuemos (Avanza–SUMA)|votes5=377953|seats5=1|votes5_2=577384|seats5_2=7|color5={{party color|Advance (Ecuador)}}|party6=[[Patriotic Society Party]]|votes6=264701|seats6=1|votes6_2=118972|seats6_2=0|party7=Claro Que Se Puede ([[Popular Unity (Ecuador)|UP]]–[[Ecuadorian Socialist Party|PSE]]–[[Democracia Sì|DSì]]){{efn|Supported by AFE in [[El Oro Province|El Oro]].
