Lavinia’s entry into the world of politics wasn’t without its twists. In an interview with Radio Centro, she candidly expressed her initial “horror” when Daniel Noboa transitioned from his successful business career to the world of politics, notably when he ran for the National Assembly in 2021.
However, her perspective underwent a transformation once she joined him on the campaign trail. In October 2023, as Ecuador witnessed the election of Daniel Noboa as the nation’s President-elect, Lavinia Valbonesi’s role gained even more prominence.
As the election results were announced, she officially became the first lady-designate of Ecuador. At the age of 25, she is poised to become the country’s youngest First Lady.
