Honduran presidential election, 1965

A presidential election was held in Honduras in March 1965.

The Constituent Assembly held its first session in March and elected Col. Oswaldo López Arellano to serve as president for a six-year term with effect from June, when it was redesignated a full legislative assembly.^[1]

“The opposition leaders, following the election, set up a “Comité Cívico Nacional”, of Liberals, Popular Progressives, and the unions, but failed to block the election by the Assembly of López Arellano”.^[2] Some liberal members of the Assembly, led by labor leader Céleo González, refused to participate in this election; but the majority went along, thus giving the election of López Arellano a certain veneer of legitimacy.^[3]
