Quito
Oct 31

Ecuadorian Presidential Candidate Rafael Correa rejected the presence of the Organization of American States mission head Rafael Bielsa, in the November 26 second electoral round.

"Bielsa is guilty of inexcusable actions and omissions, leaving doors open for any kind of election fraud" in the October 15 first electoral round, Correa, from Alianza Pais party, highlighted.

The applicant accused OAS representative of adopting a partial position and closing his eyes before the irregularities that took place in the elections.

Corrrea came in second place, when at the beginning surveys revealed the other way around.

Argentine ex chancellor Bielsa, violated his condition as observer by giving his opinion concerning Alianza Pais party, and when predicting a dark future for the country in case Correa won, he pointed out in statements given to local TV channels.

For this reason, he warned, we cannot allow him to participate again. Bielsa has also been criticized by social and political movements.

Correa reiterated that the second electoral round is due to an electoral fraud, organized by the social Christians and the national oligarchy.
