Setting up the potential for a recount ahead of the runoff vote.
Former first lady Sandra Torres is set to face off in the decisive second round on Aug. 20 with anti-graft candidate Bernardo Arevalo, who bucked forecasts to become the runner-up as anger over years of corruption scandals dominated voter sentiment.
The court said it would suspend election processes in the Central American country until the ballots are reviewed, acting at the request of Torres' National Unity of Hope party, President Alejandro Giammattei's Vamos party and several allied groups. After his surprise success, Arevalo has called on Guatemalan voters to be on guard against attempts by his opponents to manipulate the outcome.
