A week after elections in Guatemala vaulted a long-shot candidate to second place in a first round of voting, the country began a review of the votes at the request of the Supreme Court
The Washington-based OAS took the unusual step of swiftly returning its observer mission back to Guatemala after its constitutional courtof the election's first round following complaints from the party of the first-place finisher Sandra Torres and allied parties.
"Our fear is that everything is being done to bog down the process," Arevalo told CNN in an interview broadcast later on Monday. Torres' party does not want the runoff canceled, just a fair review of the first-round vote, according to a statement she posted on Twitter.
Germany, Canada, the United States, France, Britain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the OAS itself urged in a separate statement later on Monday that all stakeholders in Guatemala "assure the integrity of the people's vote."It is not clear how the court-ordered review might affect a second-round vote due in August. The judges have said all complaints must be resolved.
