THE Constitutional Court of Guatemala on Thursday granted an injunction to reverse the suspension of the Seed Movement party which should now allow Bernardo Arevalo to stand in the presidential election second round on August 20.

This came after the country’s attorney general had tried to revoke the legal status of the party on Thursday.

The court “granted the provisional injunction requested so that the second round of elections can be held on the indicated date and with the participation of the ruling candidates.”
