Arevalo wins Guatemala presidency, scored 59% of the vote
In Guatemala's presidential election, anti-corruption campaigner Bernardo Arevalo triumphed handily as voters, incensed by previous presidents' failure to address pervasive corruption, made a clear decision for change. According to a calculation by the TSE national election commission, Arevalo had 58 percent of the vote with Sandra Torres trailing with 36 percent after 98 percent of the ballots had been counted.
