VOICED : Comediante lidera elecciones en Guatemala

Guatemala has started its campaign for the second round of elections scheduled for October 25. Comedian Jimmy Morales is leading, but his opponent is yet to be determined between Manuel Valdisón and Sandra Torres. Morales secured 23.95% of the vote in the first round. The elections occur amid public outrage over political corruption, leading to President Otto Pérez's resignation. Morales is seen as an antisystem candidate without a clear government plan, representing the right-wing National Convergence Front. The new leader, taking office on January 14, will face challenges like poverty affecting 54% of the population and violence linked to drug trafficking and gang conflicts.
