(CPOD) Dec. 27, 2003 -Oscar Berger heads to tomorrow’s presidential run-off in Guatemala as the favourite, according to a poll by Vox Latina published in daily Prensa Libre. 58 per cent of respondents would vote for Berger, candidate for the conservative Great National Alliance (GANA).
Berger ran for office in 1999, losing to current president Alfonso Portillo. Alvaro Colom of the leftist National Hope Unity (UNE) would get 42 per cent. No candidate was able to garner 50 per cent of the vote on Nov. 9. Guatemalans will cast their ballots tomorrow for either Berger or Colom.
The Central American country is still recovering from a 36-year long civil war, that left more than 300,000 people dead or disappeared.
