US EditionGuatemala's electoral authority blocks the suspension of President-elect Bernardo Arévalo's party
- The Supreme Electoral Tribunal of Guatemala has temporarily restored the legal status of the Seed Movement party, preventing an attempt by opposing political forces to weaken the president-elect, Bernardo Arevalo. The party was initially suspended by the electoral registry due to an investigation into the gathering of required signatures for its formation.
- The suspension of the Seed Movement has impacted its members in Congress, making them independents and barring them from holding leadership positions. Arevalo's party has faced attacks since he achieved a surprise second-place finish in the first round of voting.

Arevalo, who gained significant support during his campaign, aims to continue the fight against corruption despite attempts to prevent him from taking office.
