Ecuador's Correa celebrates 'win'

Official results are slowly being tallied in Ecuador where President Rafael Correa is celebrating victory in constituent assembly elections.

A final outcome could take days to determine given the complexity of the vote but unofficial results give Mr Correa's party a strong majority.

He hopes the 130-member body will dissolve the national Congress, which he says is corrupt and inept.

But critics say the reforms will focus more power in the president's hands.

Exit polls from Sunday's election gave Mr Correa's Alianza Pais party a strong lead, with between 70 and 79 seats, more than the 66 needed to control the assembly.
