Leftist and Opposition Party candidate Manuel Zelaya won the Honduran election, the seventh free election since the end of military rule in 1981, over rival Porfirio Lobo of the governing National Party. Zelaya’s platform is anti-crime, and his solution to a nation with over 70% poverty is the elimination of corruption in the government and private sector, as well as supporting life imprisonment for repeat offender criminals such as gang members. Porfiro Lobo has as yet refused to concede the election despite the %5 advantage that Zelaya had at the last count over him.
