description This article analyzes the participation of local political movements in the electoral process in Ecuador. Unlike other countries such as Peru, wherein local and regional political movements have been inserted into political life since the eighties, gaining a strong level of representation from the nineties onwards, in Ecuador they stepped onto political stage in 2000, four years after the electoral system had been opened up to political and independent movements. While its representation remains geographically uneven and unstable for partly institutional reasons, its participation keeps growing. This paradox between levels of representation and participation is becoming a meaningful indicator of the ongoing political process in Ecuador, especially in a year of election, where a candidate from a national independent political movement won presidential elections.

El artículo analiza la participación de los movimientos políticos locales en las elecciones en Ecuador. A diferencia de otros países, como Perú, donde los movimientos políticos locales y regionales hacen parte de la vida política desde los años 80 y tienen una fuerte representación desde los años 90, en Ecuador surgieron en la escena política en 2000, cuatro años después de la apertura del sistema electoral a los movimientos independientes. Mientras su representación es territorialmente desigual e inestable, en parte, por causas institucionales, su participación sigue en aumento. Esta paradoja entre representación y participación se convierte en un indicador significativo del proceso político en Ecuador, sobre todo en este año de elecciones, donde un candidato de un movimiento político independiente nacional ganó las elecciones presidenciales.
