Voters expected to back new constitution in Ecuador
Voters are expected to easily approve Ecuador’s 20th constitution tomorrow, expanding President Rafael Correa’s powers and letting the pugnacious leftist run for two more consecutive terms.
The US and European-trained economist has staked everything on the constitutional rewrite that, while far from radical compared to similar projects in Venezuela and Bolivia, would let Mr Correa firmly elbow aside what remains of a badly splintered, discredited opposition.
