Honduras opposition leader Salvador Nasralla is scheduled to take oath of office on January 27th, three days before his Kenyan counterpart Raila Odinga takes a similar oath.
Coincidentally, the two leaders lost their respective elections according to electoral agencies in the two countries but have since rejected the outcome.
Supporters of the left wing politician have rocked in streets demanding for 'justice' with police said to have used teargas and water canons to disperse them, reports the Guardian.
Despite initial results showing Nasralla leading marginally in November polls, the electoral commission delayed trckling of results before declaring incumbent Juan Hernandez as winner.
Although demonstrations in the Caribbean nation slowed down over the holidays, opposition protesters thronged into streets to demand for resignation of Hernandez.
With the US having recognized Hernandez's victory, Nasralla as gone ahead to plan for his inauguration later this month.
Suffering the same fate, both Odinga and Nasralla is widely respected national leaders and have often being invited to lecture on matters democracies around the world.
In Nairobi, plans to swear-in Odinga, who boycotted presidential repeat poll in October, are said to be in advanced stage.
Just like Kenya, opposition supporters in Honduras are said to have met the full force of the police with some believed to have been killed in violent demonstrations.
