Daniel Noboa assumes the presidency of the Ecuadorian Republic as of Thursday, November 23, to complete the 17 months of outgoing President Guillermo Lasso. At 35 years old, he is the youngest president in the country's history. He will have to deal with Ecuador's worst security crisis, the arrival of the El Niño weather phenomenon and serious economic problems including power cuts. Only a dozen names of the future ministers were made public in advance. The Ecuadorian president promised that the full cabinet will be known on Sunday.
