Bernardo Arevalo is heading for a landslide victory, but legal efforts are already under way to challenge the official status of the Seed Movement.
A progressive from outside Guatemala’s power structure has been resoundingly elected as the country’s next President in a reprimand for the governing elite over widespread allegations of corruption.
“We want to think that the force of this victory is going to make it clear that there is no place for the attempts to derail the electoral process. The Guatemalan people have spoken forcefully.” Mr Nunez said there will be three key moments: the immediate positions staked out by Mr Arevalo’s Seed Movement and Ms Torres’ National Unity of Hope party about the results; then on October 31, when Guatemala’s electoral process officially ends and the Seed Movement will no longer enjoy the legal protection that would keep it from being cancelled; and finally on January 14, when Mr Giammattei is constitutionally mandated to leave office.
Edmond Mulet is a former Guatemalan diplomat and president of Congress, who competed in the first round of the election as the presidential candidate for the Cabal party. Prosecutors have three open cases against him and his party, in what he said was a safeguard in case he had made it to the run-off.
Hundreds of thousands of Guatemalans have emigrated to the United States in recent years, and the Biden administration considers Guatemala’s corruption to be a major push factor for migrants.Sandra Torres looks to have failed in her third attempt to achieve the presidency
