Sandra Torres of the National Unity of Hope party and Bernardo Arevalo of the Movimiento Semilla party will go head-to-head in Guatemala's August runoff after no candidate could secure enough votes to win Sunday's first round of presidential elections.

Torres came in first with 15.8 percent of votes, followed by Arevalo with just under 12 percent, according to the near-complete count early Monday.
