In his first press conference as president-elect, the winning candidate of the presidential election Guillermo Lasso said he was "positively surprised" by the tweet from former president Rafael Correa and the congratulatory call from the losing candidate Andrés Arauz.
When asked by reporters from the foreign press, Lasso spoke of the labor insertion of Venezuelans in Ecuador and said that he would not invite the questioned president of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro to his inauguration ceremony, but rather the opposition leader Juan Guaidó.
