He is a member of the conservative National Party of Honduras.[4] Hernández was the president of the National Congress of Honduras between January 2010 and June 2013, when he was given permission by the Congress to absent himself from all responsibilities in the Congress to dedicate himself to his presidential campaign.[5]
He had stated that he would seek re-election in 2017, despite the constitution only allowing a single term as president.[6] On December 15, 2016, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal decided, by two votes to one, to allow Hernández to stand in the pre-candidacy internal vote by the National Party of Honduras on March 12, 2017, despite arguments that such a decision was illegal.[7]
On March 12, 2017, he won the National Party's primary vote to allow him to represent his party during the 2017 Honduran presidential election on November 26, 2017.[8] Hernández was declared the winner by a narrow margin[9] on December 16, after a reelection campaign widely criticized as fraudulent.[10]
