The swearing-in ceremony of Guatemala's president-elect Bernardo Arevalo was delayed Sunday as Congress, controlled by his opponents, was locked in debate over the admission of new lawmakers.
Arevalo's inauguration ceremony had been due to begin at 3pm local time (2100 GMT), after months of judicial machinations to block him from office after his vow to clamp down on deep-rooted corruption in the Central American nation.
