Daniel Noboa, the tough-on-crime firebrand president of Ecuador, was re-elected in Sunday’s runoff.

Noboa, running under the right-wing National Democratic Action party label, handily defeated Luisa González of the leftist Citizen Revolution Movement – the party of influential former President Rafael Correa.
