Guatemala body certifies Arevalo victory, hours after party suspended

Guatemala’s top electoral tribunal has declared Bernardo Arevalo the winner of the country’s presidential elections but his presidency was plunged into uncertainty even before it had officially begun after another government body suspended his Seed Movement party.

Arevalo, the centre-left son of a former president, won the second-round run-off against former First Lady Sandra Torres in a landslide, as Guatemalans voted in droves for change.
