description: "Jan Tomislav Topić Feraud is an Ecuadorian businessman, economist, and politician who ran for President of Ecuador in the 2023 Ecuadorian general election. He was eliminated in the first round held on 20 August 2023, coming fourth with 14.66% of the vote. He has served as president of Telconet since 2010. His alleged activities for the French Foreign Legion have raised concerns of Topić being a mercenary, a label that he denied. Prior to the 2023 Ecuadorian political crisis, he was briefly nominated to serve as Minister of Security by Guillermo Lasso."
