Politics of Ecuador Political parties Elections

The Movimiento Construye (MC25), also known simply as Construye, is an Ecuadorian political party founded in 2004. It was originally founded under the name Ruptura 25 (R25). ^[4] The party joined an alliance with the Democratic Left in 2016. ^[5] This lasted until 2018 because of disagreements with President Lenín Moreno. ^[6]

In the 2023 general election, the party was represented by Fernando Villavicencio until his assassination in August 2023. ^[7] The party initially selected Andrea González, his vice-presidential running mate, to replace him, ^{[8] [9]} but because of uncertainties regarding the legality of that decision, subsequently chose the journalist Christian Zurita instead. ^[10]
