Honduras – gearing up for November elections
Just seven years after ordering the removal of the elected president for his perceived bid to perpetuate himself in power, Honduras’s supreme court is now allowing the incumbent, Juan Orlando Hernández, to run again. Despite rejecting the ruling, the political opposition is still preparing to participate in the scheduled November election – Honduras’s tenth since the last military government relinquished power in 1980. How the court will then react when – as appears likely – Hernández wins remains a source of speculation. A further source of uncertainty is the response of key members of the international community, like the main hemispheric Organization of American States (OAS) and the US, which muddled their response to the June 2009 coup d’état in Honduras.
