The corruption-plagued Central American country is facing one of the biggest tests to its democracy yet, as the recent presidential election has prompted several major legal fights.
"As of this moment, no one can stop me from taking office on Jan. 14," Arévalo defiantly said at a news conference after the results were announced.
The office pursued alleged irregularities in the gathering of signatures for its formation as a party. It is not clear whether his Seed Movement lawmakers would be able to take their seats in the country's Congress as Arévalo is set to take office as president on Jan. 14.
