00:00And in this context, we are going back once again with our special envoy in Ecuador, Jorge Gestoso.

00:07Hello, Jorge. What updates do you have for us?

00:12Well, we are already in the wait because the clothes were closed 35 minutes ago at 5 p.m. here in Ecuador.

00:23And here, when they close, they close, meaning that if there were people waiting online, they're not going to be able to vote.

00:33And that has been very clear if that was the case that was supposed to come earlier.

00:37So at 5 o'clock, all the polls were closed.

00:43And now the next step is to gather the information, send the information to the National Electoral Council.

00:51That period is expected to be around one hour from 5.

00:58So they say that they're going to get, they, meaning the National Electoral Council, they will get information around 6 p.m.

01:07And at that point, they start to process the information that they're going to publish it openly.

01:13That's what they say.

01:14And they estimated that around 9 p.m. we could have what they call an irreversible trend.

01:24So, so far, the only information that we got is that the National Electoral Council said that 83% of the electoral was the one who voted.

01:37That is a percentage that is in the range that has been in other exit polls and in other elections.

01:47And everything is in peace, waiting for, with a lot of expectations, the results.

01:56And mostly that's about what's going on.

02:00We'll get back to you now.

02:02Thank you very much, Jorge, for the information you provide us.

02:06Thank you very much.
