Election officials in Honduras say right-wing ruling party candidate Juan Orlando Hernández has an insurmountable lead over Xiomara Castro, the wife of ousted president Manuel Zelaya, in the presidential race. With a third of votes yet to be counted, Hernández has 34 percent of the vote while Castro has 29 percent. But Castro and her supporters have rejected the results, alleging fraud. Former President Zelaya said they will peacefully challenge the results in the streets.

Manuel Zelaya: “If necessary, we will take to the streets to defend our rights, as we have always done when necessary. Secondly, we are pacifists. We don’t use violence. And the martyrs and the murdered are on the side of the resistance, not the power. And we are willing to continue with the process of reconciliation, but that does not mean to give up on justice. Never.”

Hundreds of Castro supporters have already been gathering to protest the results.
