Decision to Restore Ousted Honduran Leader Is Delayed Until After Vote

Honduran lawmakers will not decide whether to restore the ousted president until after the Nov. 29 presidential election, the congressional leader said Tuesday, a decision that could undermine international support for the vote.

Deal Reached in Honduras to Restore Ousted President
The government of Roberto Micheletti, which had refused to let Mr. Zelaya return, signed an agreement with Mr. Zelaya’s negotiators late Thursday that would pave the way for the Honduran Congress to restore the ousted president and allow him to serve out the remaining three months of his term. If Congress agrees, control of the army would shift to the electoral court, and the presidential election set for Nov. 29 would be recognized by both sides. Neither Mr. Zelaya nor Mr. Micheletti will be candidates.
