Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.
In Ecuador, an outsider to traditional politics has won the presidential election.
Heir
At 35 years old, Daniel Noboa is Ecuador’s youngest elected president and an heir to his father’s banana business. He has promised to rebuild the country which is struggling with a weak economy and rising crime.
An heir is a person, usually a family member, who has the legal right to the property or title of another person when they die. It can also be someone who takes over your position or thinks in a similar way.
