HONDURAS: Hernández takes office
Juan Orlando Hernández was sworn in as president on 27 January for a single four-year term. This is the first time that the traditional Partido Nacional (PN) has retained power for two consecutive terms since the country returned to civilian democratic rule in 1980. It returns with a significantly reduced 48 seats in the 128-member unicameral legislature (from 71), but Hernández is nothing if not a can-doer.
