  On 12 February, Leonidas Iza categorically rejected any negotiations with Noboa's party, the ADN. He announced that several meetings would take place within CONAIE (Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador) and its political arm, the Pachakutik Party, to determine their stance on a potential alliance with the Citizens' Revolution for the second presidential round and beyond. On 13 February, Diego Borja, the vice-presidential candidate for Citizens Revolution, expressed a desire to initiate a joint program with Pachakutik. The primary objective is to establish a National Constituent Assembly that includes the proposal to redefine Ecuador as a Plurinational State, akin to Bolivia. On 19 February, Leonidas Iza announced the convocation of an Expanded Grand Council for 7 March 2025, where indigenous peoples would make the final decision on currently debated proposals for a programmatic political alliance with the Citizens' Revolution Movement.
  
  On 14 February the Social Christian Party announced that they would support Daniel Noboa in the second round, saying "We have never supported or voted for Rafael Correa in any election".
  
  On 12 March, CONAIE's branch in the Amazon region, CONFENIAE, endorsed Noboa, triggering a dispute within the organization and in Pachakutik. On 30 March, Pachakutik endorsed Luisa González after she had agreed to 25 demands listed by the party.
