HONDURAS, 2013/11/28
The electoral commission in Honduras says the governing party candidate has won Sunday's presidential election.
"Today's figures indicate clearly that the winner of the election is Juan Orlando Hernandez," said the commission's president David Matamoros.
Mr Hernandez, of the conservative National Party, won 36% of the vote, with results from 81.5% of polling stations tallied.
The left-wing candidate Xiomara Castro won 29%, but she disputes the outcome. Mr Matamoros before said the final result would be known in the next few days, but he called on all candidates to support the new government.
