Daniel Roy Gilchrist Noboa Azín ( /nˈbə/ noh-BOH; [daˈnjelnoˈβo.a] ; born 30 November 1987) is an Ecuadorian politician and businessman serving as the 48th and current president of Ecuador since 2023. [b] [2] [3] [4] Having first taken office at the age of 35, he is the second-youngest president in the country's history, after Juan José Flores, [5] and the youngest to be elected. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

Contents

Noboa was a member of the National Assembly of Ecuador from 2021 until 2023 when it was dissolved following the muerte cruzada constitutional mechanism invoked by President Guillermo Lasso. Before his political career, Noboa served in several positions at Noboa Corporation, an exporting business founded by his father Álvaro Noboa, a billionaire who unsuccessfully ran for president of Ecuador five times. He has been widely described as an heir to his father's company and fortune. [11]

In May 2023, Noboa announced his candidacy for president in the 2023 snap election, running on the National Democratic Action ticket. He advanced to the run-off election in October, facing Luisa González, which many interpreted as an upset given his low polling numbers in the days leading up to the election. [12] Noboa went on to win nearly 52% of the vote in the run-off, defeating González on 15 October 2023. [13] He was re-elected to a full four-year term in the runoff of the 2025 presidential election, defeating González again with an improved margin. [14]

Noboa has adopted a militarized approach to crime in Ecuador, frequently invoking states of emergency, expanding the military role in internal security, weakened judicial institutions, and raising human rights concerns. [15] Supporters say his approach has helped to fight crime, [16] while critics perceive Noboa as an autocrat, [17] [18] accusing him of human rights violations, centralization of power and undermining press freedom. [19] [20]

Daniel Roy Gilchrist Noboa Azín was born in Miami, Florida, United States on 30 November 1987, [21] [22] and was raised in Guayaquil. [23] [24] [25] He is the son of Ecuadorian businessman Álvaro Noboa and Ecuadorian physician Annabella Azín. [26] Noboa graduated from the New York University Stern School of Business in 2010, [27] and later earned a Master of Business Administration from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. [28] He studied at Harvard University in 2020. [28] [29] In 2022, he obtained a master's degree in political communication and strategic governance from George Washington University under the supervision of professor Roberto Izurieta, Noboa's current press secretary. [28]

Business career

At the age of 18, Noboa founded his own company, DNA Entertainment Group, with the purpose of organizing events. [26]

His father, Álvaro Noboa, owns Noboa Corporation, a banana exporter. [11] Daniel Noboa is seen as an heir to the company. [11] He has served as shipping director of Noboa Corporation. [26] He was also commercial and logistics director between 2010 [30] and June 2018. [26]

The Brazilian daily Folha de S.Paulo revealed in October 2023 that Noboa is the owner of two offshore companies located in Panama, according to the Panama Papers. [31] He is also linked to several other companies owned by his father in tax havens. [31]

National Assembly

Noboa was elected to the National Assembly in the 2021 legislative elections, representing Santa Elena, for the United Ecuadorian political movement. [32] He was inaugurated on 14 May in the same year. In that same May, he was appointed chair of the Economic Development Commission. [33] [34] His political ideology in the National Assembly been described as both centrist and centre-right. [35] [36]

Noboa was absent during President Lasso's impeachment trial, however a proxy voted in the affirmative. [37] In March 2023, he was in favor of the muerte cruzada , in the face of the rejection and filing of the Investment Law, presented by the government of Guillermo Lasso. [38] On 17 May 2023, Lasso invoked muerte cruzada, dissolving the National Assembly and ending Noboa's tenure as an assemblyman. [39]

2023 presidential campaign

In May 2023, and with the dissolution of parliament amid the political crisis, he presented himself as a pre-candidate for the presidential elections of the same year, by the political movement National Democratic Action (ADN), [27] and also supported by the movements People, Equality and Democracy (PID) [3] and MOVER. [40] His running mate was businesswoman Verónica Abad Rojas. [41] His campaign has focused on job creation, tax incentives for newly established businesses and increased criminal sentences for tax evaders. [42] He has also pledged to improve the justice system in the country amid growing violence. [42]

His campaign is seen as traditional, drawing on the Grupo Noboa social welfare foundation founded by his parents, as well as his ties as chairman of the Commission on Economic Development. [43]

Noboa's performance in the first round of the 2023 election

In two July polls, he was polling at 6.4% and at 3.1%. [44] [45] In early August, Noboa was polling at 2.5% and 3.7%. [46] In a poll conducted a week before the election, he was polling at 3.3%. [47]

On 20 August, Noboa gathered 23.47% of the actual votes and advanced to the run-off election set for 15 October, facing Luisa González. [42] His second-place finish was seen as surprising, with some attributing his rise in popularity to his debate performance. [42] [48] Noboa credited the young voter base for his victory. [49] [50]

In the second round, Noboa was elected, winning 55% of the vote. [13] Elected at age 35, he is the youngest president in Ecuadorian history, beating the record of Jaime Roldós Aguilera who was inaugurated at 38 years old in 1979. [51] Following his victory, Noboa thanked voters for believing in "a new political project, a young political project, an improbable political project". [13] He vowed "to return peace to the country, to give education to the youth again, to be able to provide employment to the many people who are looking for it". [13] Prior to taking office, Noboa travelled to the United States and Europe to search for investors and business lenders to assist the country's debt crisis. [52] During his visit to Washington, D.C. he met with officials from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Organization of American States. [53] On 17 October, Noboa visited the Presidential Palace to meet with outgoing President Guillermo Lasso. [54]
