The electoral body in charge of regulating Guatemala’s political groups, known as the Citizen Registry, announced the suspension Thursday of President-elect Bernardo Arevalo’s Seed Movement party.
A judge had granted the party’s suspension at the request of the Attorney General’s Office back in July, shortly before Arevalo was declared the second-place finisher in the initial round of voting. But a higher court ruled that the party could not be suspended during the election cycle, which only ended Oct. 31.
