Guatemala Tribunal Approves New Party Raíces from Semilla Breakaway

Guatemala's Supreme Electoral Tribunal has officially recognized Raíces, a new political party formed by former members of the ruling Semilla party, which brought President Arévalo to power in 2023. This marks a formal split within the governing coalition, potentially reshaping the political landscape ahead of future elections. The move signals internal fragmentation and could affect legislative support for the administration.
