1965 Honduran Constituent Assembly election

Constituent Assembly elections were held in Honduras on 12 February 1965. The Constituent Assembly subsequently elected Oswaldo López Arellano as president.

Aftermath

The Constituent Assembly held its first session in March and elected a new president. The opposition Liberal Party unsuccessfully attempted to block the election, and some Liberal members of the Assembly, led by labor leader Céleo González, refused to participate in the vote. However, Oswaldo López Arellano was elected to serve as president for a six-year term with effect from June, when the Constituent Assembly was also redesignated as a full legislative assembly.
