Berger ran for office in 1999, losing to current president Alfonso Portillo. Alvaro Colom of the leftist National Hope Unity would get 41.4 per cent.
No candidate was able to garner 50 per cent of the vote on Nov. 9. Guatemalans will cast their ballots on Dec. 28 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.
