TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - Four years after the Honduran military ousted President Manuel Zelaya, forcing him out of bed at gunpoint and spiriting him out of the country in his pyjamas, he may be set for a return to the presidential office - as first husband.

His wife, 54-year-old Xiomara Castro, is running neck-and-neck against the ruling party candidate in a tight race to lead the violent Central American country in next month's election.
