An Ecuadorean judge has overturned the suspension of Vice President Veronica Abad, complicating President Daniel Noboa’s plans for re-election campaigning.

The judge ruled that the labor ministry must publicly apologize within 72 hours, reinforcing Abad’s position as a duly elected official who could assume presidential duties during the campaign.
A judge in Ecuador has reinstated Vice President Veronica Abad after temporarily suspending her from office. This ruling poses a challenge to President Daniel Noboa’s campaign plans, as he may find it difficult to take leave for re-election campaigns while Abad is in a position to assume presidency. Abad was suspended for alleged misconduct related to her travel orders amidst security concerns, but the judge mandated a public apology from the labor ministry within 72 hours. Abad asserts her election gives her the right to govern during the campaign period.
In a significant judicial decision, an Ecuadorean judge has overturned the suspension of Vice President Veronica Abad, reinstating her ability to serve in office. This ruling comes at a crucial time for President Daniel Noboa, whose potential leave for re-election campaigning could be disrupted if Abad takes on presidential duties during that time. Last year, Noboa and Abad were elected to finish the terms of their predecessors and have experienced ongoing conflicts, which may have contributed to the legal challenges Abad faced regarding her disciplinary actions related to a travel directive.
The ruling by the Ecuadorean judge not only reinstates Vice President Veronica Abad but also complicates the political landscape for President Daniel Noboa as he prepares for the upcoming election. With the court’s order requiring a public apology from the labor ministry, it emphasizes Abad’s assertion of her rights as an elected official, shaping the upcoming electoral narrative in Ecuador. This case underscores the intricate relationship between political responsibilities and legal accountability in the nation’s governance.
