Both Sides Claim Victory in Honduras Presidential Race 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
In Honduras, both candidates are claiming victory in Sunday's
presidential election. The race has pitted Xiomara Castro , wife of
ousted president Manuel Zelaya, against right-wing candidate Juan
Orlando Hernández. With more than half of precincts reporting,
Hernández has won 34 percent of the vote, while Castro has 29 percent.
Zelaya was ousted in a 2009 coup.
