危地馬拉喜劇演員莫拉雷斯在大選中領先大綱
A comedian could be Guatemala's next president.
Jimmy Morales, a comedic actor and political novice is leading the pack of three candidates, according to early results, headed for a presidential runoff after Sunday's election in Guatemala.
With about half of the votes counted, Morales has 26 percent of the ballots. His campaign slogan "not corrupt, not a thief" resonated with voters after a corruption scandal rocked Guatemala late last week, ending in the resignation of President Otto Perez Molina.
"I planted love in my homeland and now I'm harvesting that love," Morales said Sunday after casting his vote.
Conservative businessman Manuel Baldizon trailed Morales with 18 percent of the ballots, while former first lady Sandra Torres had 17 percent of the the votes.一名喜劇演員可能成爲危地馬拉新總統。
危地馬拉星期日舉行選舉後，初步計票結果顯示，喜劇演員、政界新人吉米·莫拉雷斯在三名總統候選人中居於領先地位，他可能會參加總統決選。
目前大約一半選票已經清點完畢，莫拉雷斯獲得26%的選票。他的競選口號是“不要腐敗，不要盜竊”，受到選民的歡迎。上週末爆發的腐敗醜聞使危地馬拉受到震動，導致佩雷斯總統辭職。
莫拉雷斯星期日參加投票後表示：“我過去在祖國播下愛的種子，現在收穫愛的果實。”
保守派企業家巴爾蒂鬆得票18%，位居第二，前第一夫人桑德拉·託雷斯獲得17%的選票。
