Biography

Alexandra Arce was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador on 31 July 1977. She studied at the Laica Vicente Rocafuerte University, graduating with a degree in commercial engineering.[1]

In the 2009 provincial elections, Arce was elected to the City Council of Durán as a member of the PAIS Alliance.[2] During her time on the council, Arce was set against the policies of Mayor Dalton Narváez, of the Social Christian Party. In May 2010, Arce filed a complaint with a prosecutor against the mayor and his mother, former Mayor Mariana Mendieta,[3] over allegations of a physical attack and corruption in Narváez's government.[2]

In the 2013 legislative elections, Arce was elected to the Ecuadorian National Assembly for Guayas Province and representing the PAIS Alliance.[4] She resigned from her seat in November of that same year to stand for election in the 2014 elections for the mayoralty of Durán,[5] and defeated Dalton Narváez, who sought reelection.[6]
