Mishel Andrea Mancheno Dávila (born c. 1991) is an Ecuadorian lawyer and politician who is currently serving as President of the National Assembly since 2025.[1] She has previously served as the Legal Secretary to the Presidency from 2023 until 2024. In 2024 she stood down to stand for the election and she became the National Assembly's vice president.[2]

Life

Mancheno studied law at the Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo and business management at the Interamerican University of Ecuador. She has a master's degree from the Spanish University of Valencia.[3]

On 23 November 2023 at the Carondelet Palace she was formally made the Legal Secretary to the new President Daniel Noboa.[3] Other appointments that day included Gabriela Sommerfeld,[4] and Arianna Tanca. New ministers in the government also included Ivonne Núñez, Monica Palencia and Zaida Rovira.[5]

In 2024, Mancheno joined the board of the Mining Control Agency. She had previously been a director of the Agency for the Regulation and Control of Energy and Non-Renewable Natural Resources before it closed.[6]

In September 2024 she left her position as the president's legal secretary to become a National Democratic Action (ADN) politician. She was replaced by Santiago Andino.[7] The ADN party registered their National Assembly candidates for the 2025 elections in the province of Chimborazo in October 2024. Mancheno was their prime candidate.[8]

In the 2025 elections she was elected to the National Assembly to represent Chimborazo.[9] In May she became the first vice-president on the assembly with Niels Olsen who was also from the National Democratic Action party as the President. The second vice-president was Carmen Tiupul from the Pachakutik party.[10]
