Guatemala's presidential election is likely to enter a runoff, as preliminary results showed none of the candidates had secured a majority to win in the first round, with over 90 percent of votes counted so far.
Early on Monday morning, in a press conference by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, magistrates said that with more than 90% of the votes counted, "the results show an almost definite trend" where Sandra Torres of the National Unity of Hope (UNE) party and Bernardo Arevalo of the Movimiento Semilla party would face each other in a runoff.
The magistrates said they would announce the definitive results later in the morning.
Preliminary results showed Torres had 15.3% of the vote, followed by Arevalo with 12.1%. The third-best-placed candidate, Manuel Conde of the ruling Vamos party, had 7.9%.
The second round of voting will take place on August 20.
