Xiomara Castro Will Run for Honduran Presidency

Honduran Presidential CandidateThe Honduran Electoral Supreme Court (TSE) received over the required 42,290 signatures necessary to register the Freedom and Refoundation Party (Partido Libertad y Refundacion – LIBRE), as an official political party of Honduras. 62,000 signatures were gathered for the LIBRE party, which on Thursday will attend the Electoral Tribunal to formalize the party’s registration.

The acknowledgement of the LIBRE party follows on the footsteps of another Honduras political party of which the TSE authorized last week, the Anti-Corruption Party of Honduras (Partido Anticorrupción). It is expected that this week the Court will also approve the Patriotic Alliance Party (Partido Alianza Patriótica), led by the former head of the armed forces, Romeo Vásquez Velásquez, bringing the total political parties in Honduras to seven.

Ex-President Manuel Zelaya Rosales, announced that Xiomara Castro, his wife, will be the LIBRE the party’s presidential candidate for the 2013 elections in Honduras.
