percent of the vote.

Javier Ponce, all the ,ministers left their
posts and Correa will reshuffle their posts
in the coming days.
"I have presented my resignation, the
president has not decided yet," Ponce added.

presented their resignations because we
think it is an important gesture due to the
start of a new stage of the citizens'
revolution and the wish of change from the
Ecuadorian people," Jalkh said.
