After learning of an amparo action from several political parties, the Constitutional Court (CC) orders that the hearings to review the counting of votes be repeated in the Departmental Electoral Boards of Guatemala and in the Central District.
The CC also referred to the Supreme Court of Justice, “for reasons of jurisdiction”, the filing of the appeal, so that it can be constituted as an amparo court “so that it can continue with the process of constitutional guarantee requested.”
In this sense, the CC orders that in this new counting of votes, the representatives of the parties “may assert the objections and challenges that they deem pertinent”, especially on the challenges that the groups have made.
The minutes that have been questioned in Guatemala and the Central District must also be analyzed, leaving the possibility of a new “vote count” open.
The Court also demands that these processes must be carried out as soon as possible, so that prior to the second round of elections, the doubts raised are dispelled.
