Members of Ecuador's National Assembly take part in a session, the first since President Guillermo Lasso dissolved the assembly, to elect a new head of the legislature, in Quito, Ecuador November 17, 2023.
The legislature was dissolved in May by outgoing President Guillermo Lasso to avoid his own likely impeachment, bringing forward legislative and presidential elections scheduled for 2025.
Analysts say the coalition could help Noboa ensure he is able to govern - unlike his predecessor Lasso - during his truncated term.
Noboa, who won a runoff election in October to beat Correa's protégé Luisa Gonzalez, will be sworn in next week.
