| Info | The most salient feature of all the pre-electoral commotion is the contentious (pre-) candidature of General Ríos Montt. Montt, ex-dictator of Guatemala and current president of the country's national Congress. Having founded the party, Montt is considered the "born leader" of the FRG, Frente Republicano de Guatemala or Guatemalan Republican Front. He ruled as de facto President from 1982-83 when Guatemala was immersed in armed conflict. During his rule, the General was instrumental in implementing the infamous "scorched earth politics" travelling under the name of "counter-insurgency measures" which left a death toll of some 100.000 people and entire villages burnt down to the ground.
