(CNN) -- Voters in Honduras have elected a new president, but it remained in question Monday whether the international community would recognize conservative candidate Porfirio Lobo Sosa.

Lobo's legitimacy remains in doubt because Sunday's elections were held under the rule of interim President Roberto Micheletti, who assumed power after a June 28 coup ousted President Jose Manuel Zelaya. Many nations said before the election they would withhold recognition if Zelaya were not returned to power.

Interesting that, the reason for the calling of the election aside, some nations are choosing to ignore the results of a popular vote. That doesn't sound very pro-democratic.

Zelaya, who had called for an election boycott that apparently failed, said he would not recognize the results.

lol, too bad he's "apparently" been owned.
