1932 Honduran general election

General elections were held in Honduras on 28 October 1932. Voters went to the polls to elect a new President of the Republic and a new Congress.

"President Vicente MejÃa Colindres resisted pressure from his own party to manipulate the results to favor the Liberal Party of Honduras candidate, Angel ZÃºÃ±iga Huete. As a result, the National Party of Honduras candidate, Tiburcio CarÃas Andino, won the election by a margin of some 20,000 votes."^[1]
