Replacement
Chosen to stand
As a hopeful for nation,
But a tragic end fell
Too soon.

Ecuador 🇪🇨 fue sacudido la semana pasada por la muerte del candidato presidencial #FernandoVillavicencio. La tragedia pegó fuerte por su extrema y muy pública violencia.

In Ecuador a tragedy has come to be
A leader has been taken, no longer will he see
His party, in sadness and anger, has made their plea
To find a political leader, who is brave and free
To carry on his message and his legacy
They've picked their candidate, the people will have their say
