GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Guatemala's top electoral tribunal declared progressive Bernardo Arévalo the winner of the country's presidential elections on Monday just hours after the another part of the government suspended his Seed Movement party.
The certification comes after one of the most tumultuous elections in the Central American nation’s recent history, and waves of judicial efforts to knock Arévalo out of the race.
Arevalo faced former first lady Sandra Torres in the runoff. According to the official count, the progressive candidate obtained 60.9% of the valid votes cast against 37.2% for the right-wing Torres. The suspension of the Seed Movement from the electoral registry was confirmed by the party's lawyer on Monday.Associated Press, The Associated Press
