Honduran presidential election, 1980

A presidential election was held in Honduras on 25 July 1980.

“The Junta formally turned power over to the Constituent Assembly, but the Liberals, lacking a majority, were unable to form a government. As a way out of the impasse, it was decided that General Policarpo Paz García would stay on as interim chief of state until direct elections for a president could be held”. ^[1]

On 25 July the Assembly voted overwhelmingly in favour of Policarpo Paz García continuing in office as provisional president, pending presidential and congressional elections in 1981, for which it drafted a new electoral law. ^[2]
