Born in Guayaquil, on April 6, 1963, he has been the President of Ecuador since January 2007. His term began after his victory in the 2006 presidential elections at the head of Alianza PAIS. In 2005, during the presidency of Alfredo Palacio, he held the post of Minister of Economy for three months.

In September 2008, following the adoption of a new constitution, general elections were held on April 26 of the following year, in which he won with 52 percent of the votes in the first round. Correa was thus re-elected for a second term of four years and then again for a third term, which is due to be concluded in 2017.
