Oct. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya won’t be restored to office under an accord that leaves the decision on his return to lawmakers, a vice-president of the Congress said.

“Zelaya won’t be restored,” Marcia Facusse de Villeda, an adviser to acting President Roberto Micheletti, said in a phone interview today, “But just by signing this agreement we already have the recognition of the international community for the elections.”

Micheletti said yesterday he will allow Congress to have final say on whether Zelaya can return to power, though not before considering the opinion of the Supreme Court. The move, which U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called an “historic” accord, may end the country’s four-month political crisis.
