Ecuador has declared a state of emergency after a gunman shot and killed presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio as he was leaving a political rally in Quito on Wednesday.
Incumbent president, Guillermo Lasso, declared three days of national mourning and a state of emergency that involves extra military personnel deployed throughout the country.
He said: "Given the loss of a democrat and a fighter, the elections are not suspended, on the contrary, they have to be held, and democracy has to be strengthened."
