Guatemala's high court steps into election, suspends release of official results

The Constitutional Court late Saturday called for a new hearing to review the contested tallies in no more than five days.

Arevalo in particular from the progressive Seed Movement party was a surprise, as he had not been polling among the leading candidates. Torres, the candidate for the conservative UNE party, is making her third bid for the presidency. Constitutional lawyer Alejandro Balsells said a recount should be avoided for the good of the process. The temporarily formed panels that count the votes at each polling station on election day are the ones who count should matter.

Among the parties challenging the results are those of three candidates who were polling among the leaders before election day, but ended up getting less than eight per cent of the vote each. However, Torres' party also asked for a review of the voting tallies.
