Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
Political parties have only 64 days to sign full or partial alliances to participate in the general election. on November 28 this year.
The problem is that the Elections and Political Organizations Act stipulates that these agreements must be registered with the electoral authority six months before the election and just before the call that will take place on May 27.
During these two months, the political forces will have to negotiate, among other things, who will be the presidential candidate (a sensitive and difficult issue) and the integrated government plan. Current political reality points to three scenarios of possible alliances: two from the opposition and one from the ruling party.

Ahead of the primaries, Liberal President Luis Zelaya announced that he would form an alliance with Salvador Nasralla, chairman of the Salvador Party of Honduras (PSH).
If the National Electoral Council (CNE) declares Yani Rosenthal the winner, ex-president Zelaya would no longer sign the alliance on behalf of the Liberal Party, as he lost the postage stamps and the chairmanship of the Central Executive Council (CCEPL). Consequently, according to the experts, he will have to leave the Liberal Party in order to form an alliance with the candidate of another party.
The same situation will happen with the equally liberal Darío Banegas and with those who may be from the Libertad y Refundación (free) party, including Wilfredo Méndez and Nelson Ávila. This alliance between Liberal and Free Party factions with the PSH would be joined by the Innovation and Unity Party (Pinu). Then it would be a PSH / Pinu alliance and possibly another batch of emerging ones.
The second scenario is the probable Partial alliance between Libre and the Liberal Party if the CNE declares Rosenthal the winner, who would take control of his party. The third is the secure agreement the National Party is said to have with a number of minority parties with which it has already negotiated at the congressional level.
