The Economist IntelEgence Unit expects the president，Rafael Correa，and his Alianza Pais(AP)movement，in office since 2007,to continue to dominate the political scene until the 2017 presidential election and beyond．
The president has asked Congress to amend the constitution，in a move that could allow him to stand in the 2017 election．Given the strong anti-AP vote in recent local elections，this could pose risks to political stability.
