Presidential candidate and former banker Guillermo Lasso, of the right-wing CREO party, said earlier this month that if he wins the election, he will revoke Assange's assylum saying it's “no longer necessary.” He said he would ask Assange to leave “within 30 days,” alleging the costs of keeping him at the embassy are a financial burden.

Lenin Moreno, from the governing Alianza Pais party, said he would uphold Assange's asylum status.

As news surfaced of Lenin Moreno’s victory over neoliberal banker Guillermo Lasso for the Ecuadorean presidency, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange took to Twitter to congratulate Lenin on his victory Sunday night and cheekily invited Lasso to taste some of his own medicine.
