CNN —A Guatemalan court has suspended the party of one of the candidates in next month’s presidential run-off election, raising questions over the vote.
Movimiento Semilla is the party of opposition candidate Bernardo Arévalo.
The FECI investigation established at least 12 deceased people registered by Movimiento Semilla, according to Curruchich.
He said in the video message that the party paid a total of approximately US$22,000 in exchange for 5,000 signatures with the aim of reaching the minimum necessary to become a political party and participate in elections.
“And it’s evident that it does not have any legal support.”Guatemala has struggled with corruption and poor governance.
