Vice President of Honduras
Vice President of Honduras is the second highest political position in Honduras. According to the current constitution, the President and Vice-President are elected in the same ticket. Previously, from 1957 to 2006 there were positions of first, second, and third Vice-President known as designados presidenciales.
Only during the Zelaya administration the Vice-Presidential position was held by one person, since the Congress reformed the Constitution on 2008 for that the Vice-Presidential charge would be held again by 3 persons. The position of "Vice President Commissioner" was created by former President Manuel Zelaya after Vice President Elvin Santos resigned in late 2008.[1]
