Guatemala's Presidential Hopeful Seeks to Broaden Support Beyond Urban Youth

Guatemalan presidential candidate Bernardo Arévalo is working to expand his support beyond urban youth as he prepares for the runoff election. Arévalo, who won 11% of the vote in the first round, aims to appeal to rural Indigenous communities by emphasizing themes of renewal and growth. He seeks to address their daily problems and convince them that he can bring about positive change. Arévalo's opponents are attempting to paint him as a left-wing radical, but he pushes back against these claims and focuses on his anti-corruption message. He will face conservative candidate Sandra Torres in the runoff election.
