Ecuador is likely headed for a runoff vote in its presidential election, as front-running candidate Lenín Moreno appears to have narrowly failed to capture 40 percent of the vote. Moreno served as vice president to outgoing President Rafael Correa. With nearly 90 percent of the votes counted, he’s leading his right-wing rival, former banker Guillermo Lasso, 39 to 28 percent. Ecuador’s election is seen as an indication of whether Latin America’s left-leaning “pink tide” is over, as Argentina and Brazil have seen right-wing administrations rise to power in recent years. Lasso had said he would throw WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange out of the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, if elected.

Note: This headline has been updated to remove a reference to Uruguay as a country that has seen a right-wing administration rise to power in recent years.
