Guatemala’s highest court has suspended the releasing of official results, granting a temporary injunction to 10 parties that challenged the results of the June 25 election. Since neither came close the 50% threshold, they were expected to compete in an Aug. 20 runoff to determine Guatemala’s next president. The temporarily formed panels that count the votes at each polling station on election day are the ones who count should matter. Practically speaking, it means that a week after the election, results remain unofficial for president, vice president, all of the seats in congress and hundreds of local elected positions across the country. However, Torres’ party also asked for a review of the voting tallies.
