United Nations, Nov 24 (Prensa Latina) UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon today expressed concern at the continuing political crisis in Honduras a few days before the announced elections.

The UN chief has supported a consensus solution to the conflict in this Central American country, declared its official spokesperson Michele Montas.

In response to a question from Prensa Latina, the spokeswoman expressed concern Ban Ki-Moon for the elections next Sunday in Honduras "without the consensus and with many divided opinions in the region."

The Secretary General is closely following the situation in close consultation with other regional, Montas added.

The head of the UN had not ruled on the crisis in Honduras since late October, when he greeted the now failed constitutional agreement between President Jose Manuel Zelaya and the coup regime which ousted him on June 28.

For Ban Ki-Moon was an important step on the path toward full restoration of democracy and constitutional order.

That understanding was central axis restitution in the power of the deposed president, but with the consent of Congress, which never took place and caused the breakdown of the agreement made by Zelaya.

Earlier, the leader of the UN repeatedly condemned the coup and backed a resolution passed in July by the General Assembly to reject the failed coup of June 28.

This text repudiated the interruption of democratic and constitutional order and the legitimate exercise of power in Honduras and demanded the immediate and unconditional restoration of constitutional government.

He also called on all States not to recognize any other regime than the de Zelaya
