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”.
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.
