Months after a coup that ousted the president, and went against the nation's Constitution, Honduras looks like it will elect the conservative opposition candidate, Porfirio Lobo, as president of the small, Central American country.
The preliminary results currently have Lobo holding 56& of the vote, compared to 38% by opposition Elvin Santos.
United States officials are defending the election, while leftist governments in the region are alleging that the election "whitewashes" the June coup.
Not fond of the political fat-cats, Hondurans still decided to vote because they want to end the crisis that has hurt their ecoomy.
