This was the first election since 1996 held after the natural expiration of a four-year presidential term. This was due to a decade of political and economical instability that Ecuador experienced after Abdalá Bucaram was impeached by the former Congress, in late 1997, and that lasted until Correa's inauguration in early 2007."Los 7 años de Correa en Ecuador: estabilidad en medio de éxitos y críticas" 17 January 2014.

Background
The call for general elections occurred on 18 October 2012. The election campaigns were officially launched on 4 January and ended on 14 February, as announced by CNE member Juan Pablo Pozo.http://andes.info.ec/english/6231.html Ecuador will convene for elections on October 18 ANDES 2012-10-01 https://archive.today/20130212200212/http://andes.info.ec/english/6231.html 2013-02-12 dead

The seated President Correa, a two-term incumbent, is credited with bringing stability and prosperity to Ecuador's nearly 15 million people. A staunch friend of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, he is usually described as "leftist" and "socialist." He is committed to poverty reduction through not just economic growth, but redistribution of wealth as well. As he told the CELAC Summit in 2015:
"For the first time in the history of humanity this poverty is no longer due to a lack of resources, but rather is the fruit of inequality, and this, in turn, the product of perverse relations of power, where few have it all and many have nothing at all.”http://www.importantcool.com/sydney-to-celac-the-poverty-of-western-politics-and-the-rise-of-the-third-world/ Nothing2Hide – Just another WordPress site
This approach has generated fervent support as well as hostility from wealthy sectors in Ecuador; for example, his land reform policies for giving unproductive land to poor peasants has worried agribusiness, particularly the large flower and banana producers. He has vastly expanded the number of workers on the public sector and made health and education free for all Ecuadorians. Some have argued that Correa has clamped down on dissent in the country's news media, although journalists in Ecuador are not risking their lives as they are in other countries of the region.Garcia Eduardo https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ecuador-election-idUSBRE91H0NL20130218 Ecuador's re-elected Correa vows media and land reforms Reuters 2013-02-18 2013-02-22Associated Press in Quito https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/feb/18/ecuador-president-heralds-citizen-revolution Ecuador's President Rafael Correa says citizens will be in charge, not money | World news | guardian.co.uk Guardian 2013-02-18 2013-02-22 London His government has run record-high deficits.

Democracy Code
In late 2012, Ecuador's Constitutional Court (CC) ruled on the adoption of the Democracy Code by a 6 to 3 vote in favor. The new resolution made the D'Hondt method of voting constitutional; therefore it was applied in the 2013 elections. The resolution also states that legal restrictions on the work of journalists during elections are unconstitutional.http://www.ecuadortimes.net/2012/10/18/constitutional-court-resolves-democracy-code/ Constitutional Court resolves Democracy Code EcuadorTimes.net Breaking News, Ecuador News, World, Sports, Entertainment 2012-10-19 https://web.archive.org/web/20121019153726/http://www.ecuadortimes.net/2012/10/18/constitutional-court-resolves-democracy-code/ 2012-10-19 dead

Restrictions of the candidate's qualifications
The National Electoral Council (Spanish-language initials, CNE) approved the regulations for the registration and qualification of candidates running for President, Vice President, Assembly and the Andean Parliament for the election. The regulations established that candidates who have contracts with the State or have received final judgments for offenses penalized with imprisonment such as bribery, illicit enrichment and embezzlement, would not be allowed to participate.http://www.ecuadortimes.net/2012/10/03/cne-issues-new-restrictions-for-candidates-qualification/ CNE issues new restrictions for candidates qualification EcuadorTimes.net Breaking News, Ecuador News, World, Sports, Entertainment 2012-10-06 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304142644/http://www.ecuadortimes.net/2012/10/03/cne-issues-new-restrictions-for-candidates-qualification/ 2016-03-04 dead

Reactions
Banker Guillermo Lasso, the runner-up in the vote, conceded his defeat in broad terms, by stating: “I recognise the triumph of President Correa.” Thousands of Correa's backers celebrated in Quito's main square just after the polls closed. Speaking from the balcony of the Presidential Palace, Correa thanked them for their "immense trust.”https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/18/world/americas/rafael-correa-wins-re-election-in-ecuador.html Rafael Correa Wins Re-election in Ecuador Neuman William 18 February 2013 The New York Times
