Sandra Torres de Colom has announced her candidacy for the upcoming presidential election in Guatemala. Torres is the wife of the current President Alvaro Colom. Her plan to succeed her husband has already been deemed unconstitutional by a law prohibiting any close relatives of the governing party from serving subsequently after the current president leave office. Torres denies the legality of the ban and insists that she possess the right to run for office as any other Guatemalan is able to. She will serve as the first female president in Guatemala if she is elected.
