A bitter four-month dispute over who is president has left many Hondurans too jaded with politics to care about voting for their next leader, Reuters reported. A June coup that toppled President Manuel Zelaya and cut Honduras off from international aid has dampened interest in the Nov. 29 presidential election, which some countries say they won"t recognize unless Zelaya is restored first. As a U.S.-brokered deal to resolve Central America"s worst political crisis in two decades crumbled on Friday after de facto leader Roberto Micheletti formed a "national unity" cabinet without Zelaya, already low-profile presidential campaigns slipped further out of sight. With only three weeks left until the vote, streets that would normally be lined with campaign posters were dominated by post-coup graffiti -- some encouraging an election boycott. Zelaya was ousted by the army on a Supreme Court order and flown into exile after angering Honduran elites by cozying up to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The day of the coup, Zelaya planned to hold a referendum to gauge support for changing the constitution. Some feared he was seeking to allow presidential re-election, a charge he denies. -- SPA
