As of Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at midnight, the deadline for candidates to register for the Attorney General of the State competition with the Council of Citizen Participation and Social Control (CPCCS) will expire. As of 8:00 PM, there are currently 64 aspirants listed, representing various provinces including Azuay, Cotopaxi, Pichincha, Guayas, and El Oro. The CPCCS has released updates on these registrations, indicating a significant interest in the position. Among the notable candidates is former Government Minister José de la Gasca, Judge Daniella Camacho from the National Court of Justice, and former national judge Walter Samno Macías. However, the Acting Attorney General Carlos Leonardo Alarcón has not yet registered, although he has not ruled out the possibility of entering the competition. This indication of high-profile candidates could influence the political landscape in Ecuador as the nation prepares for a new figure in this key legal position. The diversity of candidates from various regions highlights the widespread interest and competitive nature of this election. With the deadline fast approaching, stakeholders and the public alike will be watching closely to see who will ultimately demonstrate the qualifications and integrity necessary for this pivotal role within Ecuador's judicial system.
