Presidential and parliamentary elections will be held in Honduras on November 29, 2009.[1] [2] Voters will go to the polls to elect:

Primaries

Internal party elections were held on 30 November 2008. Only the Liberal Party and National Party participated in these elections, since the smaller parties lack significant factions. They were supervised by the official electoral body, and the 48 hour ban on the sale of alcohol which accompanies all official elections was also imposed over that weekend.

Presidential election

The candidates of the two main political parties are former presidential candidate Porfirio Lobo Sosa of the National Party and former vice-president Elvin Santos of the Liberal Party. Minor parties will also present their own candidates. The trade union leader Carlos Humberto Reyes is an independent candidate for the election.[3][4]

The table below shows the six candidates, in the order published by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal.[5]

Candidate Party/Independent
Porfirio Lobo Sosa National Party
Bernard Martínez Innovation and Unity Party-Social-Democracy
Felicito Ávila Christian Democrat Party
Elvin Santos Liberal Party
