Noboa has tussled with Vice President Veronica Abad over questions of insubordination as new general elections approach.
Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa has named an interim vice president amid a continuing spat with the current holder of that office.
The Minister of the Government Jose de la Gasca announced the decision on Thursday, after Noboa’s administration accused Vice President Veronica Abad of an alleged disciplinary infraction.
In her stead, Noboa has named Planning Minister Sariha Moya as interim vice president.
De la Gasca said Abad’s actions constituted a “force majeure” — an extraordinary circumstance that required extraordinary action.
Abad served not only as vice president but also as Ecuador’s ambassador to Israel. But according to de la Gasca, she had refused an order to relocate to Turkiye due to security concerns amid Israel’s continuing war on Gaza.
