The president of Ecuador (Spanish: Presidente del Ecuador), officially called the constitutional president of the Republic of Ecuador (Spanish: Presidente Constitucional de la República del Ecuador),[2] serves as the head of state and head of governmentofEcuador. It is the highest political office in the country as the head of the executive branch of government. Per the current constitution, the president can serve two four-year terms. Prior to that, the president could only serve one four-year term.
The current president of Ecuador is Daniel Noboa. He was elected in 2023 and is currently the youngest president in the country's history.[3]
The presidency of Ecuador has been marked by periods of instability, causing the office to change presidents frequently throughout the history of the country. At least five times, the president's duties have been charged to a provisional government or a military junta. Often, the office has been left to an interim or acting president, many of whom would go on to become president. The president who has served the most terms in office is José María Velasco Ibarra, who served five.
In May 2017 Rafael Correa became the first President in more than two decades to serve out his complete terms in office since Sixto Durán Ballén, who served from 1992 to 1996. Before Correa, a period of deep political instability from 1996 to 2006 also saw a grave economic crisis in 1998-2000. During this time, Durán Ballén's three elected successors, Abdalá Bucaram, Jamil Mahuad and Lucio Gutiérrez, were deposed in popular revolts, followed by military or legislative coups d'États, in 1997, 2000, and 2005, respectively. Since Correa, Lenín Moreno (2017–2021) has also completed a full 4-year presidential term, despite a large 2019 popular revolt that nearly toppled his government.
