General elections were held in Honduras on November 24, 2013. Voters went to the polls to elect: * A new President of Honduras to serve a four-year term starting January 27, 2014 along with the 3 respective Vice Presidents; * 128 members to serve four-year terms in the National Congress; * 298 Mayors and vice-mayors and their respective councilors; and * 20 representatives to the Central American Parliament. The closely watched presidential election saw a field of eight candidates vying to succeed outgoing President Porfirio Lobo Sosa, who is not eligible to run for re-election. Salvador Nasralla, a sports journalist and television personality, and Xiomara Castro, the wife of the deposed president Mel Zelaya, both candidates from newly formed political parties (the Anti-Corruption Party and Libre, respectively) were leading in most of the early polls. However, as the election neared, the candidates of the two traditional parties – Juan Orlando Hernández of the National Party and Mauricio Villeda of the Liberal Party – both surged in the polls. ==Background== This is the first election to be contested by the opposition since the controversial and polarising 2009 Honduran coup d'état. The social mobilization since then led to the founding of the main opposition party, Libre. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Honduran general election, 2013」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
