Mario Godoy, who has been in his position at the National Judicial Council for approximately 19 months, is likely to be censured and dismissed as the two largest legislative factions in the National Assembly have made this decision. His appointment came after he replaced Wilman Terán and was subsequently ratified by the Council of Citizen Participation and Social Control (CPCCS). However, the push for his removal has been largely driven by a political trial requested by five members of the Revolución Ciudadana (RC) faction, accusing him of failing to fulfill his duties related to judicial interference and conflicts of interest.

The accusations against Godoy include serious claims of premium misconduct, such as interference in judicial processes, neglect in protecting judges, and alleged institutional cover-ups involving former officials at the Council of the Judiciary in Pichincha, particularly Henry Gaibor. Despite the severity of the charges, the Commission on Oversight which conducted the investigation presented only one piece of evidence against Godoy, which places him in a precarious situation regarding his position.

The developments surrounding Godoy's potential ousting reflect broader political tensions within Ecuador’s National Assembly, where power dynamics between different factions can lead to significant shifts in governance and leadership. This situation illustrates the fragility of political appointments in the face of party politics and the necessity of accountability within the judicial framework in Ecuador. The outcome of this situation could set a precedent for future political trials involving judicial officials, making it a focal point of interest for citizens and political observers alike.
