Life
editTiupul comes from Cacha.[1] She has a Business Administration degree and a leadership diploma which she obtained in Chile.[2] Tiupul is a supporter and member of ECUARUNARI which is a confederation of people of Kichwa nationality.[2]
In October 2021 she was tried by a court accused of leading the 2019 Ecuadorian protests. She was found guilty and sentenced to two years in prison and a fine equal to seven times her annual income,[3]
She resigned from the assembly on June 7, 2023, as required by the cross-death decree issued by President Guillermo Lasso so that she could participate in the general elections for the new Assembly. There had been 27 members from her party but this reduced to five and she was one of them.[4] Henry Kronfle became the president of the re-formed National Assembly of 137 representatives in 2023. At his election there were only nine members who voted against him being President and these included Cecilia Baltazar, Adriana García, Lucia Posso, Fabiola Sanmartín, Andrea Rivadeneira, Luzmila Abad, Mariana Yumbay and Tiupul.[5] The assembly also formed its commissions including the one on "Transparency, Citizen Participation and Social Control". Tiupul was one of those elected together with others including Mariana Yumbay and Lucía Posso.[6]
She proposed a bill in February 2024 that would modify the laws that enable the Ecuadorian provinces of Cañar, Morona Santiago, Azuay and Tungurahua to benefit from sale of hydroelectricity created in those states. Tiupul's bill argued that the province of Chimborazo should also take a share because of the rivers that pass through the province of Chimborazo.[7]
In August 2024 it was announced that she would be the Pachacutik party's candidate for re-election to National Assembly in 2025.[1]
