Various of UNE supporters STORYLINE: Supporters of the National Unity of Hope (UNE) party gathered at the biggest market in Guatemala City for its campaign closing on Friday. Their candidate Sandra Torres is preparing to face Bernardo Arévalo of the Seed Movement in a runoff election on Sunday. A poll from CID Gallup published on Wednesday by the Liberty and Development Foundation showed voters favored Arévalo over Torres by 61% to 39%. Over the past decade, Guatemalan presidential candidate Sandra Torres has drifted rightward on the political spectrum as she repeatedly tried to win the presidency. In her third bid, the former first lady has drafted an evangelical pastor as her running mate, and leans heavily on her firm commitment to keeping abortion and same-sex marriage illegal in Guatemala. Torres, 67, leads the National Unity of Hope, a party that once was considered the country’s social democratic party but has moved rightward. In the administration of her ex-husband, Álvaro Colom, Torres led the government’s social programs, giving her significant government experience.
