Voters in Ecuador reject return of foreign military bases
Update: 2025-11-17
Description
Voters in Ecuador have rejected a proposal to allow the return of foreign military bases, according to early referendum results, with a count of close to 90 percent of ballots showing nearly two-thirds voting “no” on the proposal. The loss on Sunday was a blow to President Daniel Noboa, who has said foreign cooperation, including shared or foreign bases within the country, is central to fighting organised crime. A separate measure to convene an assembly to rewrite the constitution also had more than 61 percent rejection, with nearly 88 percent of votes counted. Noboa acknowledged the defeat in a post on X. “We respect the will of the Ecuadorian people,” he wrote. Al Jazeera’s Alessandro Rampietti reports from the capital Quito.
