During a presentation event of a partnership between Baterías Ecuador and the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF), Francisco Egas, the FEF president, addressed the electoral situation on March 13. He responded to Esteban Paz's legal action to access electoral documents, which raised questions about the election's transparency. Egas reassured that the elections are scheduled for March 17, clarifying that any previously imposed legal measures have been lifted, thus eliminating uncertainties about delays.

Egas elaborated on the various attempts to defer the election process, mentioning tactics such as declaring lawyers ill and changing legal representation. He revealed that these efforts to disrupt the electoral timetable had persisted for nearly a week; although some deferments were conceded, they are no longer relevant now that the legal barriers have been removed. Egas emphasized that the continuation of the electoral process aligns with their original timeline, indicating the importance of the judiciary's decision taken on that day.

This confirmation highlights the FEF's commitment to proceeding with the elections amid controversies surrounding their integrity. The outcome of these elections could have significant implications for Ecuadorian football governance and the subsequent development of the sport in the country, as it seeks to maintain transparency and restore public confidence after recent controversies.
