TOPPLED Honduran president Manuel Zelaya has announced plans to run for office again next year — if the incumbent does the same.
Latin American media reported late on Wednesday that “Mel” Zelaya, the popular leader deposed in 2009’s US-backed coup d’etat, would be on the ballot paper in his Liberty and Refoundation (Libre) party’s presidential candidate elections.
The Libre party was founded in 2011 by the National Popular Resistance Front, a coalition of organisations that opposed the coup.
