Andrea González Náder (born 1 April 1987)[1] is an Ecuadorian environmental activist,[2] [3] entrepreneur and political figure who is currently running for President of Ecuador in the 2025 general election. She ran for vice-president in the 2023 Ecuadorian election.
Born in Guayaquil, González holds an Engineering Degree in Environmental Technology from Universidad Del Pacífico.[4] After graduating, she founded and led several environmental organizations.
In 2018 González ran for the vice prefecture of Guayas for the Popular Unity party[5] and, in 2020, she ran for a seat in the National Assembly;[6] both bids were unsuccessful.[7]
In 2023, Fernando Villavicencio, the presidential candidate for that year's general election of the political party Movimiento Construye (MC-25), named her his vice-presidential running mate.[8] Villavicencio was assassinated on 9 August after a rally, at which point the party began exploring the possibility of González replacing him on the presidential ticket.[9] On 12 August, González was announced as the new presidential candidate;[10] however there were legal uncertainties regarding her eligibility, and on 13 August they backtracked on that decision and named the journalist Christian Zurita as the candidate, with González as his running mate.[11]
In June 2024, González Náder registered as a pre-candidate for President of Ecuador in the upcoming 2025 general election.[12]
