Guatemalan court orders suspension of election results, threatens runoff between former first lady and anti-graft candidate

The Constitutional Court of Guatemala has suspended the release of official results from the June 25 election after several parties filed an appeal.
The court ordered a review of the tallies in the electoral system and polling places to ensure they match.
The results for the election remain unofficial, threatening a delay for the second round presidential runoff on August 20 between Sandra Torres and Bernardo Arevalo.
Torres, a former first lady, received 15.8% of the vote in the first round, while Arevalo, an anti-corruption candidate, received 11.8% of the vote.
Arevalo may gain more support in the runoff due to Torres' unpopularity in the capital.
