Mexico has rejected claims that local hitmen are traveling to Ecuador to kill the country's president, Daniel Noboa, as he is set to begin a new term in office.
Noboa's administration has had testy relationships with some Latin American counterparts, including Colombia and Mexico, none of which have recognized his win citing inconsistencies. Noboa claimed victory in mid-April, with results showing him getting 56% of the votes compared to Luisa Gonzalez's 44%, a larger-than-expected margin after a virtual tie in the first round. Gonzalez has rejected the results.
