Ecuador election: Socialist Lenin Moreno declared winner

Socialist Lenin Moreno has been declared the winner of Ecuador's closely contested presidential election.

Incumbent party candidate Mr Moreno won 51.16% of the vote, the country's electoral council announced.

Conservative Guillermo Lasso, whom three exit polls predicted would win after the vote on Sunday, got 48.8%.

Mr Lasso has already indicated he will challenge the vote, having earlier alleged fraud.

But with 99.65% of ballots counted, the National Electoral Council's Pablo Pozo said these were the "irreversible official results".
