Opinion polls in Honduras show conservative candidate Porfirio “Pepe” Lobo has a clear lead ahead of Sunday’s controversial presidential election.
Polls give Mr. Lobo of the opposition National Party a 16-point lead over Elvin Santos of the ruling Liberal Party, which ousted its own leader, Manuel Zelaya, as Honduran president in June.
Both Mr. Lobo and Mr. Santos support Mr. Zelaya’s removal from power, a move that brought international isolation to the poor Central American nation.
