Bernardo Arevalo, who won the popular vote, has urged MPs to respect the results of the election
Supporters of President-elect Bernardo Arevalo clashed in Guatemala City with police on Sunday after his inauguration was unexpectedly delayed.
Arevalo, a member of the leftist Semilla party who ran on an anti-corruption platform, received more than 60% of the run-off vote in August 2023.
His swearing-in ceremony was due to begin at 3pm local time on Sunday. The procedure was abruptly suspended by Congress, which is controlled by right-wing parties.
People angered by the delaying of the inauguration broke through police barriers and threatened to storm the parliament building. Police responded by firing volleys of tear gas.
