Pacheco made clear her anger at the people who devalue involvement of actors and actresses in elections, “You do not need a degree to be Assemblywoman, just being eager to serve,” she added.

The Partido Social Cristiano (PSC) also seeks affiliations of known characters such as singer Johanna Carreño, who could represent the list for the Northern District of Manabi.
