The Legislative Administration Council (CAL) is scheduled to convene on February 9, 2026, to discuss the third political impeachment request against six members of the Council for Citizen Participation and Social Control (CPCCS). This request, brought forward by the Citizen Revolution (RC) party through legislator Luis Fernando Molina, aims to hold the councilors accountable for alleged failures in their duties related to the appointment of judges and the selection of the new Attorney General. However, the Technical Legislative Unit (UTL) has issued a report recommending that CAL dismiss the request due to non-compliance with formal requirements related to notification and evidential support.

This marks the third attempt by the RC party to initiate impeachment proceedings against the CPCCS councilors. Alongside Molina, legislator Héctor Rodríguez has joined as an interrogator, underlining the seriousness of the accusations which include failures in the nomination processes for key judicial positions. The RC party's push for accountability reflects ongoing tensions and political strategizing in Ecuador, particularly between the ruling party and the opposition.

As the CAL meeting approaches, the implications of this decision could resonate throughout Ecuador's political landscape. If the impeachment request is archived as suggested, it may embolden the CPCCS councilors but could also provoke further dissent from opposition groups like the RC that seek to challenge the status quo. The meeting would not only determine the fate of this specific request but also signal the legislative body's stance on accountability and the functioning of oversight institutions in Ecuador.
