OUSTED Honduran President Manuel Zelaya will leave the country yesterday for exile in Mexico after spending nearly three months holed up in the Brazilian Embassy in Tegucigalpa, sources said.
"He is going to leave the country today for abroad. He is leaving of his own will," a politician close to Zelaya told Reuters.
A Mexican government source said Zelaya, a leftist overthrown in a June coup, would arrive in Mexico on Wednesday night.
Zelaya's chances of returning to power received a serious blow last week when Congress voted he could not take office again.
Hondurans chose a new president, Porfirio Lobo, in elections on Nov. 29 but many countries have yet to recognize the vote. Lobo is to take power in January.
Extra police forces beefed up security at the Brazilian Embassy and a small group of Zelaya supporters carrying banners arrived at the building.
