Ecuador rivals both claim victory in tight runoff
Both candidates in Ecuador's presidential runoff claimed victory on the basis of conflicting exit polls Sunday, setting up a tense wait as the country charts its future after a decade under leftist Rafael Correa. The election is being closely watched as a barometer of the political climate in Latin America, where more than a decade of leftist dominance has been waning. It may also decide the fate of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been holed up in Ecuador's London embassy since 2012.
