Guatemalan President Giammattei calls for peaceful transition of power to leftist successor
Fox News
Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei on Tuesday called for a peaceful, democratic transition of power to successor Bernardo Arévalo.
Hours before the country’s Supreme Electoral Tribunal certified late Monday that Arévalo won this month’s presidential election, another government body — the electoral registry — suspended his party from all political activities. The Seed Movement asked the country's top electoral authority to lift the suspension.
Arévalo called the suspension illegal at a news conference Monday and said that now the vote has been certified "no one can impede me from taking office on Jan. 14."
