The National Democratic Action (ADN, Spanish: Acción Democrática Nacional) is a political alliance and movement in Ecuador created to support the candidacy of Daniel Noboa in the 2023 presidential election.
History
[edit]Daniel Noboa announced his presidential candidacy in May 2023 following the Ecuadorian political crisis. He received the support of the People, Equality and Democracy (PID) and MOVER parties, which became members of the ADN.[8] In the following months, Noboa organized this movement, which for a long time did not receive legal status.[9][10] Noboa's running mate is conservative entrepreneur Verónica Abad Rojas, from Cuenca.[11][12]
The relation of this political platform with former president Lenín Moreno is noteworthy, as PID was founded and is presided by Arturo Moreno Encalada, cousin of the former politician,[13] and MOVER was the ruling party during much of Moreno administration when it was still PAIS Alliance, with Moreno serving as the president of PAIS when he was president of Ecuador.[14]
In the 2023 presidential election, Noboa took second place in the first round of voting on August 12,[15] before winning the runoff round (and thereby the presidency) on October 15.[16][17] Valentina Centeno is party leader at the National Assembly.[18][19]
Composition

| Party | Abbr. | Leader | Ideology | Membership | |

| People, Equality and Democracy Pueblo, Igualdad y Democracia |
