==History==
{{unreferenced section|date=August 2025}}
{{original research|date=August 2025}}
The presidency of Ecuador has been marked by periods of instability, causing the office to change hands frequently throughout the [[History of Ecuador|history of the country]]. At least five times, presidential duties have been assumed by a [[provisional government]] or a [[military junta]]. Often, the office has been left to an interim or [[acting president]], many of whom would go on to become president. The president who has had the most terms in office is [[José María Velasco Ibarra]], who served five. 

In May 2017 [[Rafael Correa]] became the first President in over two decades to complete his terms in office since [[Sixto Durán Ballén]], who served from 1992 to 1996. Before Correa, a period of deep political instability from 1996 to 2006 also saw a [[1998–1999 Ecuador economic crisis|grave economic crisis in 1998–2000]]. During this time, Durán Ballén's three elected successors, [[Abdalá Bucaram]], [[Jamil Mahuad]] and [[Lucio Gutiérrez]], were deposed in popular revolts, followed by military or legislative ''[[Coup d'état|coups d'état]]'', in 1997, [[2000 Ecuadorian coup d'état|2000]], and [[Ecuadorian Revolution of 2005|2005]], respectively. Since Correa, [[Lenín Moreno]] had also completed a full, four-year term (2017–2021), despite a large [[2019 Ecuadorian protests|2019 popular revolt]] that nearly toppled his government.
