Constituent Assembly elections were held in
Honduras on 12 February 1965.[1] The Constituent Assembly subsequently elected
Oswaldo López Arellano as president.
The Constituent Assembly held its first session in March and elected a new president. The opposition Liberal Party unsuccessfully attempted to block the election,[2] and some Liberal members of the Assembly, led by labor leader
Céleo González, refused to participate in the vote.[3] However,
Oswaldo López Arellano was elected to serve as president for a six-year term with effect from June, when the Constituent Assembly was also redesignated as a full legislative assembly.[4]
