Guatemala's Presidential Election Results Remain Unclear Amidst Clashes and Runoff Advancement.

Early vote count for Guatemala's presidential election gives no indication of leaders as none of the 22 presidential candidates are polling near the required 50% threshold for winning outright. A second round of voting on Aug. 20 between the top two finishers is almost certain. Many Guatemalans had expressed disappointment with their presidential choices after three opposition candidates were excluded by authorities. Accusations from both inside and outside Guatemala that the vote was unfairly skewed to favor the political establishment rose after several outsider candidates were excluded by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal.
