Leftist candidate in Ecuador alleging fraud

11:55 H | Topics: Controversia - Ecuador - Politics

Leftist candidate and favorite for the presidency in Ecuador, Rafael Correa (Movimiento Alianza País) is alleging that even before the Sunday elections and runoff set for November 26th, fraud is already in the works, according to Spain's 20 Minutos:

"There is a right wing mafia in this country that wants to create chaos, but nobody is paying attention to them. We are certain that we will win, but there will be fraud designed to take votes from us and make sure there's a second round," said Correa.

Apparently Correa's finger is pointing to ex TV reporter (and only female candidate in the race), one Cynthia Viteri (Partido Social Cristiano) and her followers, who, according to Correa have done nothing but try personally defame him and his associates in an attempt to bring down the candidate's popularity.
