DescriptionThe victory of former coup leader Lucio Gutierrez in Ecuador's presidential election brings to power in South America another populist leader with left-wing sympathies.

His victory follows closely on that of the Brazilian Workers' Party leader, Lula, and seems reminiscent of the election of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.
