3:03 am
uh, arriving to oversee and, and, and really supervise the count that's taking place right now. one thing that we have been hearing overwhelmingly, from electoral observers, throughout the course of the day, the words, the term that we keep hearing right now is low voter turnout specifically compared to the 1st round of voting. that took place in june. but at the moment, things seem to be going pretty well throughout the course of the day. we haven't heard of any reports of any anomalies or of any irregularities. again, somewhere around a 1000 electoral observers have been deployed throughout guatemala to help oversee this and help to ensure that the democratic process is respected. but again, the mood pretty jo. be all pretty good. people are hoping that it remains that way as a, as we wait, we are expecting the 1st sort of signs of a trend sometime in the next few hours or so. and it tells you that you've been there all day. uh, but well, other calls pups gauge what people are thinking of the issues that match it to them be it's inflation, climate change, the cost of living,
3:04 am
how high of the issues of crime and security being in this particular run of the boat. so that's a good question. so specifically because the lead up to the selection, especially as outside hers and from an international point of view, looking into guatemala, the question over the over the institution ality, the democratic constitutionality of the country. the strength of the democratic process. here in guatemala was certainly what was making headlines, but when you talk to voters and economists and political analysts here in the country, what they're talking most about is the economy. it's the lack of opportunities. it's the lack of jobs. it's a poverty rate, that's it somewhere around 60 percent. it's the issue of corruption. and another issue that's also very front and center on the minds people here is crime. we're sitting in security dang, biling, extortion from police. and when we're talking about what sort of policies and i the ology we hear from the different, uh, sorry you can,
3:05 am
you hear some of those are flaws, is taking place here. i do want to, i do want to highlight that we don't want to miss the fact that people here, again, very jovial over the fact that this is now the final stretch. people here very happy with the way things have turned out. and a lot of this has to do with this folder, anxiety and motor fatigue, that people have been feeling a election period and a campaign season that's been marred by controversy mark by allegations of election interference. a lot of people are just really happy that this is all but was over here. but again to the issue of a crime and security. very different strategies that we're hearing from the, from both candidates from the more conservative candidates on that i thought it is . she is proposing something very similar to the security strategy seen by all salvatore's president, the april kenley, moore, prison, mass incarceration. she was famously quoted for saying that human rights are for
3:06 am
the victims, not for the criminal. conversely, you here of from, of the candidate them, everybody of hello who's saying that he wants to reform the police, create a brand new police force. but again, these are issues, whether it be the economy, whether it be crime, whether it be tackling the issue of climate change, not anything that either one of these candidates is going to be able to fix overnight. what experts here say is that a long term policy for long term prosperity, it's what's needed for this country to help. thanks very much. but of course we'll continue to follow this. i'd come with you from guatemala. thank you. know that kind of thing is an oil saving that kudos presidential and parliamentary elections . the country's top electoral forward, he reported new violent incidents and described the election is peaceful and safe. besides the nations of presidential hopeful 5 and then the bill of incense, you put the country spiraling gang violence in the spotlights. the killing has to be shuffled. the little cards with none of the content is expected to get an absolute majority that may lead to run off at october. well,
