Ecuador leftist has 37.85 pct of votes -preliminary results

QUITO, Feb 20 (Reuters) Ruling party leftist Lenin Moreno received some 37.85 per cent of votes in Ecuador's presidential election, versus around 30.81 per cent for conservative ex-banker Guillermo Lasso, an official count of 20.9 per cent of ballots showed.
Moreno, a disabled former vice president, needs 40 per cent of valid votes and a 10 per centage point difference with his nearest rival to avoid a second round on April 2 and continue a decade of left-wing rule in the Andean country.
