Can Guatemala’s president-elect have a party?

Upstart progressive anti-corruption candidate Bernardo Arévalo was officially declared the winner of Guatemala’s presidential election on Monday, but there’s a catch. The country’s electoral registry also said his Seed Party should be suspended for alleged irregularities in the collection of signatures to form the party.

The formerly little-known Arévalo has already faced various legal challenges to his victory, which completely blindsided the country’s political establishment. Experts say Arévalo should still be able to take office in January as planned, but the fate of his party is unclear. Arévalo’s camp has said they will appeal the ruling all the way to the Supreme Electoral Court.
