Rafael Correa was not rejected, he was ineligible to stand for a further term of office.
He was rejected by the electorate by a recall in his efforts to keep having an option to nominate himself as a candidate to get a second reelection. The constitution was amended by the will of the people on elections.
He was strongly campaigning against that amendment and he lost. Hence, he was rejected.
