  Preliminary results in the first round showed no candidate in the presidential election had won an outright majority. Daniel Noboa received 44.17% of the vote, followed by Luisa González at 43.97%. Turnout was estimated at around 82%. On 24 February 2025, the Plenary of the CNE approved the numerical results of the 2025 general elections. After approval, three days were given for political organizations to file appeals with the CNE or the TCE if they considered it necessary. The final results for the presidential candidates were released on 12 March 2025. Luisa González achieved 44% (4,510,860 votes) and Daniel Noboa 44.17% (4,527,606 votes). The difference between them was 16,746 votes. During the election, Noboa's mother, Anabella Azín was elected to the National Assembly to represent the national constituency.
  
  In the second round, Noboa received 55.63% of the vote, defeating González by 11.25 percentage points. The result exceeded expectations based on pre-election polling, with Noboa's campaign notable for its focus on young voters. Noboa was congratulated by various international leaders. González refused to concede and has requested a recount, alleging fraud without providing evidence. International observers, including the European Union and the Organization of American States, confirmed the elections were free and fair. Noboa held a victory rally in Olón, calling it a "historic victory," saying: "A victory by more than 10 points, a victory by over a million votes, leaving no doubt about who the winner is." González refused to concede, claiming election fraud without evidence.
  
  In the National Assembly, the coalition formed by the Citizen Revolution Movement and the RETO Movement, led by former President Rafael Correa, secured a narrow plurality with 67 seats, followed closely by Noboa's National Democratic Action party with 66 seats. Mónica Salazar soon after left the Citizen Revolution Movement, reducing RC-RETO to 66 seats. Most smaller parties collapsed in seat share, save for Pachakutik, which won 9 seats. In the Andean Parliament, the ADN won three of Ecuador's five seats to RC-RETO's two.
