Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa appointed Cynthia Gellibert, Secretary General of Public Administration, as interim vice president on Saturday, replacing elected Vice President Veronica Abad
The move comes amid an ongoing political feud between Noboa and Abad over who should represent the country during the presidential campaign.
The conflict between Noboa and Abad has persisted for over a year, primarily over the issue of presidential representation while Noboa takes time off to campaign for a four-year term in the upcoming presidential election. According to the Ecuadorian constitution, when the president campaigns, the presidency must be temporarily handed over to the vice president.
Abad, who has also been serving as Ecuador’s ambassador to Israel, has argued that she has the legal right to the presidency. However, the labor ministry suspended her from her post in November, accusing her of insubordination and failing to comply with a presidential order to travel to Turkey on specific dates.
In the decree appointing Gellibert, Noboa stated that Abad was barred from holding public office due to legal issues and insubordination. The ministry cited her refusal to adhere to presidential directives as a serious disciplinary offense.
Noboa is currently campaigning for a full four-year term in a closely contested race against leftist candidate Luisa Gonzalez. The same two candidates faced off in a 2023 snap election, making this a highly anticipated rematch.
The political conflict over the vice presidency adds another layer of complexity to the already tense election atmosphere.
