Guatemala's High Court Halts Official Election Results

Guatemala's Constitutional Court has suspended the release of official election results, granting a temporary injunction to 10 parties that challenged the June 25 vote. The court has called for a new hearing to review the contested tallies within five days. The suspension means that a week after the election, results remain unofficial for president, vice president, all seats in congress, and hundreds of local elected positions across the country. Dozens of people protested outside the court, demanding that their votes be respected and not determined by the courts.
