I doubt this will have a big effect on the election, but it shows how bad Ecuador is with the neoliberal government. The assassinations of politicians also happened during the 2023 municipal elections (the one where Lasso not only lost all the main cities to Correa’s party and some liberals, but also his entire constitutional changes referendum).
Very similar to the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. I guess the US oil companies got angry with Villavicencio and paid some Colombians to kill him.
