Ecuador's Rafael Correa resigns from the party he led in government
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 2018 - 17:47
FORMER Ecuadorean president Rafael Correa has quit the socialist Pais Alliance he led in government for 10 years.
Mr Correa handed in his resignation yesterday, Quito-based Telesur reported.
Last year, he fell out with his successor, President Lenin Moreno, over his backing of corruption charges against vice-president Jorge Glas.
Mr Correa called Mr Moreno a “traitor” and a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” who had infiltrated the Pais Alliance.
