[edit] History

Presidency of Ecuador has been marked by periods of instability, causing the office to change hands frequently throughout the history of the country. At least five times, the duties of the president have been charged to a provisional government or a military junta. Often, the office has been left to interim or acting president, many of whom would go on to become president. The President who has served the most terms in office is José María Velasco Ibarra, who served five. The last president to serve out his complete term in office is Sixto Durán Ballén, from 1992 - 1996.
