Arauz, accompanied by Correa's former chancellor Guillaume Long, met with the International Monetary Fund, international corporations, media outlets, and Ecuadorian residents. He pledges to restore the scholarship programs for Ecuadorian students as well as creating more efficient consular offices.
After the February 16 to 17 tour, the UNES candidate awaits for the second round of the elections on April 11. Most polls estimate that he will become president, while the National Electoral Council still has to confirm a runner-up between the banker Guillermo Lasso and Indigenous leader Yaku Pérez.
