QUITO, March 9 (Xinhua) -- The presidential candidate of Ecuador's ruling party Lenin Moreno is leading the polls before a runoff vote on April 2, showed survey results released on Thursday.

In the first round, Moreno of the progressive PAIS Alliance garnered 39.36 percent of the votes, falling just shy of the 40 percent with a 10 percentage point difference needed to secure an outright win.

Guillermo Lasso, the candidate of the conservative coalition CREO-SUMA alliance got 28.09 percent of the votes, with the remainder shared by six other candidates.

More than 12.8 million Ecuadorians are eligible to vote in the race to elect a successor of President Rafael Correa, who has been in power since 2007.

1. Not Supporting A Candidate

But I hope whoever wins takes up Lasso's pledge to kick Assange out of the embassy

2. Ecuador needs to eject Assange!

I am no longer a fan of Ecuador since they keep the Russian stooge protected from rape charges in their embassy.

4. Screw the people of Ecuador, the only thing that matters is that they please the US right wing.

That's not the way the massive poor majority, the abused, exploited indigenous people of the Americas see things.

5. Now how would you know how the indigenous people of Ecuador see things?

I'm curious, since you've never ever been there.
