Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, a conservative U.S. ally, appeared likely to win a second term on Sunday despite opposition claims that his re-election is an unconstitutional power grab. Honduras' National Autonomous University says the rate has dropped to 59 homicides per 100,000 from a dizzying high of 91.6 in 2011. The country's highest court backed the 2009 ouster of President Manuel Zelaya. "The hypocrisy of the Honduran elite is evident ... the people will have to decide at the ballot box." There are another six candidates from tiny opposition parties, but the president remains the clear front-runner.
