Isidro Ramon Antonio Ayora Cueva (31 August 1879[1] – 22 March 1978)[2] was an Ecuadorian political figure. He served as the 22nd President of Ecuador from 1926 to 1931. Isidro Ayora, a town in Guayas, and Puerto Ayora, are named after him. Some people name coins ayora because they were introduced by him.[citation needed]
Upon his death in 1978 at age 98, Ayora was the longest-living Ecuadorian president; until his record was surpassed by Guillermo Rodríguez in 2023, when Rodríguez turn 100.[3]
