outlier due to its partially unitary government.
Only 15 out of the 137 members of the National Assembly are elected by the citizens of Ecuador.
The other members of the National Assembly are chosen based on the percentage of the country that belong to each political party.

negotiations between the Colombian government and the rebel group FARC ended.
