[UPDATE. 11.40 p.m. Pacific Time: Looks like It's pretty much over for the ruling party that supported Musharraf. The two opposition parties, late Bhutto's PPP and former PM Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League (N),are sharing the spoils and are likely to form a coalition to form a government. Official results likely today. Time for deal-makers to take centerstage :)]

It's Election Day in Guatemala today. Early results were looking fairly even between Álvaro Colom (UNE, Unidad Nacional de Esperanza) and General Otto Pérez Molina of the Partido Patriota (PP), with Molina slightly ahead.
