HONDURAS-REGION: Election results change minds abroad
The general elections in Honduras, which were called a month before
President Manuel Zelaya was removed from office, went ahead as scheduled on 29
November, in a surprisingly calm atmosphere and with a turnout greater than that
of 2005. The outcome reflected what the polls had been saying from long before
the campaigning began: Porfirio Lobo, of the opposition Partido Nacional (PN),
won comfortably. The only remaining question is how deep and lasting will be the
split among hemispheric nations over recognition of the results.
