QUITO — Ecuadorian presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio was shot and killed Wednesday by unidentified gunman while at a political rally in the country’s capital of Quito, President Guillermo Lasso said.
The killing comes amid a startling wave of violence in the South American nation, with drug trafficking and violent killings on the rise.
“I assure you that this crime will not go unpunished,” Lasso said in a statement. “Organized crime has gone too far, but they will feel the full weight of the law.”
The politician, 59, was the candidate for the Build Ecuador Movement. He was one of the most critical voices against corruption, especially during the government of former President Rafael Correa from 2007 to 2017. He filed many judicial complaints against high ranking members of the Correa government.He was married and is survived by five children.
Early accounts show that several others were injured from shrapnel, though authorities did not confirm how many.
The first Republican presidential primary debate will feature 8 candidates on the stage, the Republican National Committee announced Tuesday.
The debate, which Fox News will host on Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, will feature North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, former Vice President Mike Pence, Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, and Vivek Ramaswamy, the RNC has confirmed.
To make the stage, candidates were required to reach 1% in three national polls, or 1% in two national polls and two state-specific polls from the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.
Additionally, to reach the debate stage, candidates were required to have 40,000 unique donors to their campaign committee (or exploratory committee), with "at least 200 unique donors per state or territory in 20+ states and/or territories," according to the RNC criteria.

The candidates were also required to sign a pledge agreeing to support the eventual Republican presidential nominee; agreeing not to participate in any non-RNC-sanctioned debates for the rest of the 2024 election cycle; and agreeing to data-sharing with the national party committee, the RNC noted last month.
Former President Donald Trump has refused to sign such a pledge, despite meeting the rest of the debate criteria.

Achieving success in one's career involves a careful balance of various factors that contribute to personal growth, job satisfaction and overall fulfillment. Whether you are already an established professional looking to climb the corporate ladder or a fresh graduate embarking on the journey of finding your ideal career path, understanding and prioritizing the essential elements that lead to success is crucial.
Below, 17 Forbes Human Resources Council members share the fundamental factors that every employee and job candidate should consider to thrive in the workplace and achieve their long-term career objectives. From improving essential skills and building strong networks to maintaining a growth mindset and finding a sense of purpose, discover the key elements that play a pivotal role in shaping a successful and fulfilling professional journey.
Resilience is key to sustainable success in the workplace and to a rewarding career. Particularly with the fast-paced changes that we’re seeing with technology, learning how to build resilience enables employees to better manage stress and uncertainty, and navigate and adapt to challenges and setbacks. It fuels perseverance and problem-solving, which are essential skills in any work environment. - Albert Galarza, telusinternational.com
Find a workplace that matches your skills, qualifications and desired compensation, as well as your values, interests and passions. You’re more likely to have long-term success when you and your employer are aligned on the difference you’re making in the world. - Hugo Malan, Kelly
Skills can be taught but attitude has to come from within. An employee with an attitude—I will do my best; I will take ownership of my mistakes and be accountable for my results; I will never stop learning; I will help my organization succeed; I will make my team win—will keep climbing the ladder of success. - Vineet Gambhir, DataLink Software
The most important skill set employees should have to thrive in our fast-moving workplace is a willingness to be lifelong learners. We can no longer stay in the same job for 30 years. Today’s workers will change jobs an average of five times during their careers. To succeed, you must be flexible, adaptable and have a growth mindset. - Leigh Yanocha, Knopman Marks Financial Training
Forbes Human Resources Council is an invitation-only organization for HR executives across all industries. Do I qualify?
I think the most important factor in all employees or job candidates is curiosity. If you are willing to learn and grow every day, your job will be fun and exciting as you experience new things, new people and new challenges. That curiosity will lead you to new things and opportunities. - Gordon Pelosse, CompTIA, the Computing Technology Industry Association
Look at the growth and progression of your peers at the job you're applying to. Where are individuals with your title at two, five and seven years after they've joined the role you're aiming at? Attack if you're happy with what you see. - Nick Frey, Avomind
Part of setting the stage for success in your ideal career includes finding the balance between work and your personal life. Achieving this balance is easier if your workplace's company culture matches your values. A strong culture can Excellerate your confidence, engagement and motivation to perform at the highest levels. - Laura Spawn, Virtual Vocations, Inc.
Employees and job candidates should consider how they’re demonstrating subject matter expertise in their field. Nowadays, doing your job isn’t enough. You should demonstrate expertise as part of your personal brand by creating or sharing blogs, articles and videos on social media while keeping up with changes and updates through continuous learning, training and development opportunities. - John Feldmann, Insperity
One crucial factor for success in any workplace and career is continual learning. Staying current with industry best practices, emerging trends, evolving technology and skill requirements is vital. By showing initiative and dedication to personal development, individuals can adapt, remain current and relevant and increase their chances of success. - Joseph Soares, IBPROM Corp.
Consider how companies can and should support your success. We focus a lot on skill building and networking to land the “dream job,” but if employers don’t have the benefits or cultures that support your life and goals, then that job won’t feel so dreamy once you get there. As you consider the career path that’s right for you, factor in your must-haves from a workplace—the things you need to thrive. - Ursula Mead, InHerSight
Employees and candidates should ensure they want to work at the company. Does the company match your vision and values? They should think about if benefits and salary increases were paused, do they still want to be there? Believing in the company you work for makes it easier to come to work every day and stay with the company during challenging times. - Erin ImHof, CertiK
Developing strong relationship-building and listening skills, along with continually developing your emotional intelligence, will take you far in your career. These skills enable you to be a good team player and support your team. They will supply you insights that others may miss. They also are attributes that are critical for successful leaders. - Hazel Kassu, Sudduth Search
One success factor is learning how to have a difficult, or crucial, conversation. This is a life skill that will serve you well personally and professionally. The ability to manage conflict in a healthy, productive way will lead to your own career success and progression. This is something that is often taught or learned too late in one's career and can be a derailer. - Tracy Dodd
Do not allow your identity to only be tied to your career. Who you are outside the workplace supports your ability to do your best work. The moment I became more than my job, I started advancing and building my career. - Jessica Wallen, Marten Law
Every successful employee needs the ability to learn and adapt throughout their career. As many skills and as much experience as a candidate might bring to the table, every role will present new challenges to overcome. Succeeding against obstacles requires the ability to identify any skill gaps that may be getting in the way of your potential success and the ability to find the resources that are to close them. - Niki Jorgensen, Insperity
Having a growth mindset that views challenges as opportunities for learning and growth and embraces failures as learning opportunities is so important. People who possess a growth mindset are more likely to approach their work with curiosity, adaptability and a willingness to stretch. - Britton Bloch, Navy Federal
It is essential to have the ability to gain and leverage professional knowledge and skills to achieve optimal results by contributing to the company's success and developing your personal effectiveness. The success factors are curiosity, accountability, continuous development, influencing skills and resilience. - Dr. Nara Ringrose, Cyclife Aquila Nuclear
