This is not a joke and neither is it an entertainment show but,a popular TV comic actor and stand up comedian, Jimmy Morales, with no prior political experience. has been elected president of Guatemala.
The 46 year old won by a landslide yesterday Sunday October 25th by taking more than
72% of the vote. His biggest opponent was former Quatemala First Lady, Sandra Torres..
“As President, I received a mandate, and the mandate of the people of Guatemala is to fight against the corruption that is consuming us. God bless and thank you,” Morales said after he won.An election was called for last month after the country's former President Otto Pérez Molina stepped down in the face of a bribery scandal. Molina is now in a military prison. Now a comic actor is president. How neat!
