ECUADOR-ELECTION-CAMPAIGN-CORREA-SUPPORTERS

Ecuador's president and presidential candidate Rafael Correa, waves an Ecuadorean flag as he speaks during a campaign rally in Machachi, Ecuador, on January 17, 2013. Polls show Correa, a leftist who has been in office since 2007, is the overwhelming favorite to win in the first round of voting. Surveys give him a lead of as many as 49 percentage points over his closest rival, banker Guillermo Lasso. Correa went on an unpaid leave of absence on January 15 to devote himself full-time to his campaign for re-election February 17. In his absence, Vice President Lenin Moreno will assume the presidency until the last day of the presidential campaign on February 14.
