Luisa González, from Revolución Ciudadana, and Daniel Noboa, from ADN, will go to the ballot on October 15. In last Sunday's debate, they almost did not address issues related to the reduction of the digital divide, the deployment of 5G or the expansion of digital skills of the population. Polls show a virtual tie between the candidates.
