1993 Guatemalan presidential election

Indirect presidential elections were held in Guatemala on 5 June 1993. They were sparked by the 1993 Guatemalan constitutional crisis in which President Jorge Serrano Elías had attempted a self-coup. The result was a victory for Ramiro de León Carpio, who won unopposed in the second round of voting, whilst the army-backed Arturo Herbruger was elected vice-president.[1]

gollark: Yes, Rust would be a much better base.
gollark: Nobody actually reads them, and by the time they are ratified it will be *too late*.
gollark: Solution: Infiltrate the standards committees. While they're distracted bikeshedding function names and cylindrical Bessel functions and such, swap out some of the pages of the new standard for ones from Boost docs.
gollark: Also, potatOS would inevitably stop it.
gollark: Might it not delete itself, then?
