Honduran general election, 1948

A general election was held in Honduras on 10 October 1948. Voters went to the polls to elect a new President of the Republic and a new Congress.

“Even though the Liberal Party had been made legal again to give the appearance of a competitive election with the National Party, the Liberals boycotted the elections after assessing their chances. But as so often is the case in Central American history, the carefully chosen successor did not turn out to be all that malleable after all”.
