Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei on Friday evening said he would work to ensure an orderly transition of power to whomever voters elect on Sunday in the final round of a tense presidential election.
Arevalo's surprise second-place finish in June's first round vote provoked calls for recounts by opponents.
A prosecutor then persuaded a court to suspend Arevalo's party, threatening to sideline his bid. Guatemala's top court later reversed the ban.published on Monday with online news site El Faro, Arevalo said he expected efforts to dispute his potential victory "from different sectors." "I have no doubt that between Aug. 20 and Jan. 14, if we win the election, there will be a good number of attempts to prevent it from happening," Arevalo said.
Giammattei, a conservative, said he would not stay in office "one minute longer" than Jan. 14, the scheduled day to hand over power to the incoming elected government. Earlier this month, Giammattei met with the Organization of American States chief Luis Almagro and expressed his commitment to ensuring peaceful elections, he said at the time in a post on social media platform X.
