Voters in Honduras to select candidates in presidential primaries
VOTERS in Honduras went to the polls today to select candidates from the three main parties to compete in November’s presidential election.
The election comes at a time when President Xiomara Castro, Honduras’s first female leader, of the leftist Libre party has a tense relationship with the United States.
Sunday’s election will offer voters choices of continuation in the form of Ms Castro’s defence minister, Rixi Moncada, who has the president's support.
