危地馬拉喜劇演員莫拉雷斯在大選中領先
A comedian could be Guatemala's next president.
一名喜劇演員可能成為危地馬拉新總統。
Jimmy Morales, a comedic actor and political novice is leading the pack of three candidates, according to early results, headed for a presidential runoff after Sunday's election in Guatemala.
危地馬拉星期日舉行選舉後,初步計票結果顯示,喜劇演員、政界新人吉米·莫拉雷斯在三名總統候選人中居於領先地位,他可能會參加總統決選。
With about half of the votes counted, Morales has 26 percent of the ballots. His campaign slogan "not corrupt, not a thief" resonated with voters after a corruption scandal rocked Guatemala late last week, ending in the resignation of President Otto Perez Molina.
目前大約一半選票已經清點完畢,莫拉雷斯獲得26%的選票。他的競選口號是“不要腐敗,不要盜竊”,受到選民的歡迎。上週末爆發的腐敗醜聞使危地馬拉受到震動,導致佩雷斯總統辭職。
"I planted love in my homeland and now I'm harvesting that love," Morales said Sunday after casting his vote.
莫拉雷斯星期日參加投票後表示:“我過去在祖國播下愛的種子,現在收穫愛的果實。”
Conservative businessman Manuel Baldizon trailed Morales with 18 percent of the ballots, while former first lady Sandra Torres had 17 percent of the the votes.
保守派企業家巴爾蒂鬆得票18%,位居第二,前第一夫人桑德拉·託雷斯獲得17%的選票。
