US supports Honduran presidential election

The ousted President of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya has angrily denounced US policy in the run-up to Presidential election on Sunday. In an interview with Reuters news agency, Mr. Zelaya said Washington's support for the election in Honduras was a serious precedent that could signal a return to militarism in the region. The United States supports this Sunday's presidential election as an essential part of a solution in that country's ongoing political crisis. However, a US spokesman said, Washington continues to push for a settlement plan between the interim Government and deposed President Manuel Zelaya on the stalemate of Mr. Zelaya's ouster. Part of the plan calls for Honduran Congress to vote on whether Mr. Zelaya should be reinstated to complete his term which ends in January. The vote is scheduled for December 2nd.
