VOICED : Honduras elige nuevo presidente

Honduras is holding presidential elections with a significant contest between the ruling right and a rising left, challenging the long-standing bipartidism. The country faces severe issues like poverty, unemployment, and violence, which are central to the voters' demands. Eight candidates are vying to succeed President Porfirio Lobo, with Juan Orlando Hernández and Xiomara Castro as the frontrunners. The elections occur amidst a fragile institutional backdrop, a legacy of the 2009 coup against President Manuel Zelaya. Besides the presidency, 128 deputies and 298 mayors will be elected.
