TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - Honduras' conservative ruling party candidate, Juan Hernandez, has won Sunday's presidential election after campaigning on a promise to tame rampant drug gang violence that has given the struggling nation the world's highest murder rate.
Results showed the head of Congress beating his leftist challenger, Xiomara Castro, wife of ousted former leader Manuel Zelaya, thereby ensuring continuity of outgoing President Porfirio Lobo's right-leaning economic policies.
