The Supreme Electoral Court flatly rejected ex-first lady Sandra Torres' presidential candidacy...on the grounds of "supposed legal fraud".
Sandra Torres has gone to great lengths to succeed her husband President Alvaro Colom...by recently divorcing him after 8 years of marriage...because of a constitutional ban on close relatives of the president running for the job.
Her party's leaders said they would appeal.
