Quito (EFE).- The Revolución Ciudadana movement, led by former President Rafael Correa, revealed this Saturday that former Vice President Jorge Glas will be its presidential candidate for the extraordinary elections on August 20.
This was reported at a convention held in the coastal province of Manabí, where the leader Marcela Aguinaga pointed out that the movement has decided “unanimously” to nominate Glas as a formula candidate with Luisa González.
After the announcement, Aguinaga asked those present at the convention to comment on the applications, raising his hand.
Glas, with two firm convictions for corruption, was able to run as a candidate after a judge on Friday granted him a precautionary measure.
The precautionary measure was issued by Judge John Rodríguez Mendiola, of the Multicompetent Judicial Unit of Yaguachi, a canton (municipality) belonging to the coastal province of Guayas, where Glas is from.
