Tribunal Contencioso Electoral dismisses complaint against President Daniel Noboa

The Tribunal Contencioso Electoral (TCE) has dismissed a complaint filed against President Daniel Noboa, ruling that there is no evidence to support the allegations made against him.

The complaint, filed by opposition politician Gilmar Gutiérrez, alleged that Noboa had violated the constitution by using public funds to finance his re-election campaign. However, the TCE found that there was no evidence to support this claim.

In a statement, the TCE said that "there is no evidence that President Noboa used public funds to finance his re-election campaign." The TCE also said that "the evidence presented by the complainant is insufficient to support the allegations made against President Noboa."

Gutiérrez has said that he will appeal the TCE's decision to the Supreme Court. However, legal experts say that it is unlikely that the Supreme Court will overturn the TCE's decision.

The TCE's decision is a victory for Noboa, who has been facing increasing pressure from the opposition in recent months. The opposition has accused Noboa of corruption and mismanagement, and has called for his resignation.

However, the TCE's decision is also a blow to the opposition, which has been hoping to use the complaint to force Noboa from office. The opposition is now likely to focus on other strategies to remove Noboa from office, such as impeachment or a recall election.
