Franco Quezada

Franco Quezada is the former mayor of Loja, Ecuador, who was recently in the news due to the ratification of his removal from office by the Tribunal Contencioso Electoral (TCE). The decision followed a municipal council's vote to remove him based on alleged legal violations as stipulated in the Organic Code of Territorial Organization, Autonomy and Decentralization. Quezada contested the removal, arguing that he did not incur the alleged infractions and that the process violated due process rights. However, the TCE upheld the council's decision, leading to his official removal.
