QUITO (Reuters) - Ecuadorean legislative candidate Estefany Puente, who is running for a seat in the province of Los Rios, said on Friday she was lightly injured in a shooting attack the day before.
The incident follows the assassination of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio, who was gunned down as he left a campaign event on Wednesday evening, less than two weeks before the election.
