Given the fact that in Honduras there will be elections in November to elect a new president, Manuel Zelaya rushed back to Honduran territory. An action that has the task of trying to disrupt the upcoming elections because it doesn't suit him from any point of view.
If the November vote occurs, the elected president will be an authority that will have the recognition of most of the people and all Honduran institutions. Situation that would leave Zelaya trying to overthrow a president who entirely meets the constitutional requirements to hold office.
Moreover, according to opinion polls, the political organizations that support Zelaya in Honduras have no chance of claiming victory in the upcoming elections. This implies that electoral competition is not a realistic strategy for Zelaya's followers to regain control of the country.
Then, Zelaya knows that his cause will be lost if the elections are conducted. His presence will seek to add street protests to the international community's pressure, in order to prevent Hondurans from voting.
