A candidate for mayor in Ecuador has won the election after he was murdered ahead of polls opening over the weekend.
Menéndez campaigned on making Puerto López safe for not only its citizens, but as a way to ramp up the local economy by ensuring security for tourism, sustainability, productivity and efficient governing in a plan he dubbed"Five all for Five," as the vote was held on Feb. 5.
Supporters of Ecuadorian mayoral candidate Omar Menéndez take to the streets two days ahead of the election. The suspects involved in Menéndez's shooting have not been apprehended after fleeing the scene on motorbikes. The alleged assailants said they were"vigilantes" who were removing people supposedly linked to drug trafficking in the region.
