A | CARACAS, Venezuela -- Frightened by unprecedented violence on the streets and within prisons, Ecuadorians have a universal demand for the president they will choose Sunday — safety.The runoff election in the South American country pits an heir to a banana empire, Daniel Noboa, and an attorney, Luisa González. Both have limited governing experience and will undoubtedly have their work cut out.The election comes as more Ecuadorians become victims of drug-related violence that erupted roughly three years ago and intensified in August, when a presidential candidate was assassinated in broad daylight. People continuously watch their backs and limit how often they leave home. The uneasiness even pushed Noboa to add a bulletproof vest to his daily outfit.Whoever wins with a simple majority of votes will govern for only 15 months, until May 2025, which is what remains of the presidency of Guillermo Lasso. He cut his term short when he dissolved the country’s National Assembly in May as lawmakers carried out impeachment proceedings against him over alleged improprieties in a contract by a state-owned company.Lasso, a conservative former banker, clashed constantly with lawmakers after his election in 2021 and decided not to run in the special election. Under Lasso's watch, violent deaths soared, reaching 4,600 in 2022, the country’s highest in history and double the total in 2021. The National Police tallied 3,568 violent deaths in the first half of 2023.“Security affects us all, and whether poor or rich, no one is safe from criminals anymore,” housewife Ximena Flores said ahead of the runoff election. “Do you think that a new president will be able to do something in such a short time? I think not. It will be a new disappointment for everyone.”The spike in violence is tied to cocaine trafficking. Mexican, Colombian and Balkan cartels have set roots in Ecuador and operate with assistance from local criminal gangs.Voting is mandatory in Ecuador for people ages 18 through 64. Those who don’t comply face a fine of about $45. Polls were to close in late afternoon, and results were expected Sunday evening.Noboa and González, both of whom have served short stints as lawmakers, advanced to the runoff by finishing ahead of six other candidates in the election’s first round Aug. 22.Noboa, 35, is an heir to a fortune built on Ecuador’s main crop, bananas. His political career began in 2021, when he won a seat in the National Assembly and chaired its Economic Development Commission. He opened an event organizing company when he was 18 and then joined his father’s Noboa Corp., where he held management positions in the shipping, logistics and commercial areas.González, 45, held various government jobs during the decade-long presidency of Rafael Correa, her mentor, and was a lawmaker until May. She was unknown to most voters until Correa’s party picked her as its presidential candidate. At the start of the campaign, she said Correa would be her adviser, but she has recently tried to distance herself a bit in an effort to court voters who oppose the former president.___Associated Press writer Gonzalo Solano in Quito, Ecuador, contributed to this report.。 2026年上半年，中国汽车服务行业在结构优化中持续演进，供给端质量稳步提升，劣质供给加速出清、连锁化与品牌化趋势愈发明显。 作为全球门店规模最大的汽车服务连锁平台，途虎养车紧抓行业结构性变革机遇，积极响应商务部等九部门发布的《关于培育壮大汽车后市场消费若干措施的通知》中“鼓励维修企业集约化、专业化、品牌化连锁经营”的政策导向，将自身规模化、标准化、数字化优势深度融入国家扩大汽车后市场消费的大局，以稳健的经营业绩和持续扩大的市场份额，为激发汽车后市场消费活力提供了标杆范例。 途虎养车近日发布的2026年中期业绩报告显示，截至2026年6月30日，途虎养车工场店数量达8825家，上半年净增817家，领跑行业。报告期内集团实现总收入人民币87.8亿元，同比增长11.4%，注册用户增长至1.75亿，市场份额加速提升，展现出穿越周期的强大发展韧性与活力。 促就业，为行业高质量发展注入人才动能 就业是最大的民生。随着门店网络持续向城市下沉，上半年新开门店中低线城市占比约65%，途虎养车在促进行业规范化发展的同时，也为社会提供了大量稳定的就业岗位。
