Aguilar Cuts Into Big Early Lead Of Leftist In Guatemalan Returns
GUATEMALA AP Col Juan de Dios Aguilar narrowed the leftist Julio Cesar Mendez Montenegro’s early edge as official returns from Guatemala City and 80 outlying municipalities showed Mendez leading with 88 125 votes to 60 798 for Aguilar. Ponciano had 45 913 votes. Voters also chose 55 congressional seats and 324 mayors. The Revolutionary party alleged government telegraph offices altered figures to favor the official party. Mendez, leading in Guatemala City, refused to declare victory, insisting more returns were needed but expressing confidence he would win a majority. If no candidate wins a majority, Congress chooses the president. Official results were slow. no congressional totals were released. The Revolutionary party claimed triumph in all departments. Both leaders warned of violence if fraud were suspected.
