(UPDATE) QUITO: Car horns in Quito blared in celebration on Sunday as banana empire heir Daniel Noboa, 35, became Ecuador's youngest-ever president-elect, vowing to 'restore peace' to a South American country ravaged by a bloody drug gang war.

After the electoral authority declared him the victor and socialist rival Luisa Gonzalez conceded defeat, Noboa vowed that 'tomorrow we begin work to rebuild a country that has been severely hit by violence, corruption and hatred.'
