Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
Political parties only have 64 days to enter into total or partial alliances in order to participate in the general elections to be held. on November 28 this year.
The problem is that the electoral law and the Political Organizations order that these agreements must be registered before the electoral authority six months before the elections and just before the call that will take place on 27 May.
During these two months, the political forces will have to negotiate who will be the presidential candidate (sensitive and difficult issue) and the integrated government plan, among other conditions. The current political reality points to three scenarios of possible alliances: two from the opposition and one from the ruling party.

Prior to the primaries, Liberal President Luis Zelaya announced that he would ally with Salvador Nasralla, President of the Salvadoran Party of Honduras (PSH).
If the National Electoral Council (CNE) declares Yani Rosenthal the winner, former President Zelaya would no longer sign the alliance on behalf of the Liberal Party, because he lost the seals and presidency of the Central Executive Council (CCEPL). Consequently, according to experts, he will have to leave the Liberal Party to enter into an alliance with the candidate of another party.
The same situation will happen with the also liberal Darío Banegas and with those who possibly come from the Freedom and Refoundation Party (Free), among them Wilfredo Méndez and Nelson Ávila. To this alliance between factions of the Liberal and Free Party with the PSH would be added the Party Innovation and Unity (Pinu). Then it would be a PSH / Pinu alliance and possibly another emerging party.
The second scenario is likely partial alliance between Free with the Liberal Party if the CNE declares winner to Rosenthal, that would assume the control of its party. The third is the insurance agreement that the National Party would have with some minority parties with which it has already negotiated at the Congress level.
