Ecuador presidential candidate had an attempt on his life. Otto Sonnenholzner was shot at earlier today.
Ecuadoreans head to the polls on Sunday to elect a new president and legislature after a campaign clouded by the assassination of anti-corruption candidate Fernando Villavicencio 10 days ago.
“We just suffered a shoot-out in front of the place where I was breakfasting with my family,” Sonnenholzner, a pro-market candidate and former vice president said on X, previously called Twitter.
“Thank God we’re all well but we demand an investigation into what occurred.”
A video on social media showed Sonnenholzner greeting a supporter in a sunny restaurant in Guayaquil and preparing to take a selfie, before shots sound outside.
