President appointed
NZPA-AP Tegucigalpa Jose Azcona Hoyo, a 58-year-old civil engineer, was declared President-elect of Honduras yesterday by the national elections tribunal. Mr Azcona Hoyo will be inaugurated on January 27 for a four-year term, succeeding Roberto Suazo Cordova in Honduras’ first peaceful transition of civilian governments since 1929.
Hondurans voted on November 24 for a President, a new Congress, and mayors. Mr Azcona Hoyo, a Liberal who ran in a multicandidate field, was' declared winner under a formula that awarded the Presidency to the top vote-getter in the party that garnered the most votes.
