TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - Leftist Honduran presidential candidate Xiomara Castro, the wife of deposed former President Manuel Zelaya, appears to have a slight lead in the race to become the next head of the Central American country, according to a poll released on Wednesday.
Castro, the Liberty and Refoundation Party candidate who established her reputation while fighting for her husband's right to rule after his 2009 military-led ouster, would receive 29 percent of the vote compared to 27 percent for National Party candidate Juan Hernandez, according to the CID Gallup poll.
