Sariha Belén Moya Angulo (born 1986 or 1987) is an Ecuadorian economist and politician who has been the acting Vice President of Ecuador from November 2024 to December 2024. She was appointed by President Daniel Noboa, replacing suspended Vice President Verónica Abad Rojas. She previously served as National Secretary of Planning under the Noboa administration from 2023 to 2024.
Education
Moya studied at the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador and earned a master's degree in economics at Carlos III University of Madrid.
Political career
Moya also worked for the National Planning Secretariat between October 2012 to August 2013 in the role of planning and budget analyst. From January 2016 to June 2017, she served as Director of Monitoring and Evaluation of the National Development Plan of Ecuador.
After Daniel Noboa was elected President of Ecuador in 2023, Noboa initially planned to nominate Moya as Minister of Economy and Finance. Instead she was appointed as National Secretary of Planning.
Acting Vice Presidency
On 9 November 2024, Vice President Verónica Abad Rojas was temporarily suspended as vice president by the Ecuadorian government after failing to leave Israel and travel to Turkey. Noboa selected Moya as acting vice president two days later on 11 November. Noboa praised Moya's public service and management track record as the reason behind his selection of Moya. Abad suspension was lifted by a judge in December 2024, ordering the labor ministry to give her an apology for the suspension, with Moya stepping down.
Noboa re-appointed Moya on 2 January 2025. However on 4 January, Moya declined to take office to again become acting Vice President and said that she that he has a health problem and needs rest. Noboa responded with saying he will designate Cynthia Gellibert as the next acting Vice President. Abad was later suspended again in March 2025 with Noboa appointing Cynthia Gellibert as acting Vice President.
