Ivonne Núñez: TCE restores political rights after sanction

Ivonne Núñez Tribunal Contencioso Electoral political rights Ecuadorian politics electoral sanction

The Tribunal Contencioso Electoral (TCE) has ordered the immediate lifting of the suspension of political rights for Ivonne Núñez, the former Minister of Labor. The decision follows the completion of a three-month sanction originally imposed in March 2026.

Judge Patricio Maldonado issued a substantiation order confirming that the punitive period concluded on September 23, 2026. The judge has directed the National Electoral Council (CNE) and the Ministry of Labor to formally execute the reinstatement of her political rights.

The sanction against Núñez originated from a complaint regarding the failure to promptly register the suspension of political rights for Hermel Tayupanda, the prefect of Chimborazo, following a separate electoral violation case.
