Honduran president to seek re-election despite dispute

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — President Juan Orlando Hernandez announced Wednesday his intention to run for another term, a year after a controversial Supreme Court ruling voided a longtime constitutional ban on presidential re-election in Honduras.

"According to our fundamental rules, he is disqualified from aspiring to office again," Nasralla said.

Police repeatedly used tear gas to break up the demonstration, but the students regrouped to throw rocks and sticks, burn tires and block streets.
