I want to live in this country, just imagine leaving in a country were the President cracks jokes to his fellow citizens! We are going to laugh and forget our sorrows! lol But unfortunately that is not the case for Guatemala, the country is in deep shit and needs help.
Television comedian, Jimmy Morales, was elected president of Guatemala on Sunday, according to Fox News reports.
His election comes just after a wave of protests and widespread public anger over corruption prevalent in the Central American country’s previous government.
Also, his victory comes just over a month and a half after President Otto Perez Molina resigned and was jailed in connection with a customs scandal.
Former first lady Sandra Torres, conceded defeat to Morales in the runoff vote after it became evident that Morales garnered 69 percent of the vote with 94 percent of the polling stations reporting.
The 46-year-old funnyman who reportedly has no prior experience in politics said:
“I have been asked if we have the capacity to govern, and we have been emphatic in saying that alone — no — but with the blessing of God, and the support of the people, we are sure that yes, we can. Because Guatemala has made a choice that it wants a change,” he said.
