====Changes in political groups====
Some of the opposition parties, particularly the [[Liberal Party of Honduras|Liberal]], [[Liberty and Refoundation|LIBRE]] and [[Anti-Corruption Party|PAC]] have faced internal division. This division had more impact on LIBRE, which led to the dismissal and the resignation of some of their congressional partisans. During the first week of session in 2014, Congressman Eduardo Cotto was expelled from LIBRE for voting in favor of the [[National Party of Honduras|National]]/[[Christian Democratic Party of Honduras|DC]]/[[Democratic Unification Party|PUD]] directive integration, which was also supported by the [[Liberal Party of Honduras|Liberals]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.latribuna.hn/2014/01/22/expulsan-a-eduardo-cotto/ |title=
On February 21, 2015, Congresswoman Tatiana Canales announced her incorporation to the [[Liberal Party of Honduras|Liberal Party]], after failed negotiations with [[Anti-Corruption Party|PAC]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Honduras |url=http://www.laprensa.hn/inicio/799453-417/masiva-adhesi%C3%B3n-de-libres-al-pl |title=Masiva adhesión de Libres al PL - Diario La Prensa |website=Laprensa.hn |date=2015-02-20 |access-date=2016-07-31}}</ref> Nonetheless, 3 days later, the authorities of LIBRE decided to expel her (even though she had already resigned) and three other congressmen after they voted against an electoral reform that was introduced to Congress by the former [[President of Honduras|President]] and current party leader of LIBRE, [[Manuel Zelaya Rosales]]. Together, the three expelled congressmen and Canales formed an independent bloc headed by Congresswoman Jenny Murillo.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.latribuna.hn/2015/02/25/expulsados-de-libre-forman-octava-bancada/ |title=Expulsados de Libre forman octava bancada - Diario La Tribuna Honduras |website=Latribuna.hn |date=2015-02-25 |access-date=2016-07-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160919031553/http://www.latribuna.hn/2015/02/25/expulsados-de-libre-forman-octava-bancada/ |archive-date=2016-09-19 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
On April 9, 2015 the National Congress of Honduras processed the resignations of Congressman Hector Enrique Padilla from LIBRE and Substitute Congresswoman Claudia Patricia Molina from the Liberal Party. Since Molina is a substitute congresswoman, this change does not affect the number of members of the Liberal caucus, nonetheless Padilla's resignation reduced the number of LIBRE congressmen to 32. Later on, Padilla joined the independent group formed by former members of LIBRE.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tiempo.hn/nacion/item/26543-honduras-cn-da-tramite-a-renuncia-irrevocable-de-diputados-de-libre-y-partido-liberal |title=
The total number of members of the LIBRE caucus was reduced to 31 after [[Atlántida Department|Atlántida]] congresswoman, Audelia Rodriguez resigned from that party and joined the independent group on May 5, 2015. Rodriguez stated that the lack of direction in LIBRE has led to the impossibility of giving response to the people that elected her, but later she joined to the Christian Democratic Party<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.latribuna.hn/2015/05/05/diputada-de-libre-renuncia-y-se-une-a-bancada-independiente/ |title=Diputada de Libre renuncia y se une a bancada independiente - Diario La Tribuna Honduras |website=Latribuna.hn |date=2015-05-05 |access-date=2016-07-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160919031236/http://www.latribuna.hn/2015/05/05/diputada-de-libre-renuncia-y-se-une-a-bancada-independiente/ |archive-date=2016-09-19 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
The Deputy of the independent group Hector Padilla has joined to the Christian Democratic Group, and with the new deputy now they have 3 deputies in the group. In the later months the congresswoman Audelia Rodriguez has joined to the Christian Democratic Party now counting with 4 deputies
Also in February 2016, LIBRE has expelled the deputies Esdras Amado López and Dennis Antonio Sánchez of Francisco Morazán and Santa Bárbara respectively, based on the reason that they have voted in favour of a new Supreme Court of Justice.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.latribuna.hn/2016/02/16/esdras-amado-lopez-y-denis-sanchez-ya-no-tienen-cabida-en-libre/ |title=Esdras Amado López y Denis Sánchez ya no tienen cabida en Libre - Diario La Tribuna Honduras |website=Latribuna.hn |date=2016-02-16 |access-date=2016-07-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160309171039/http://www.latribuna.hn/2016/02/16/esdras-amado-lopez-y-denis-sanchez-ya-no-tienen-cabida-en-libre/ |archive-date=2016-03-09 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Honduras |url=http://www.laprensa.hn/honduras/930258-410/expulsados-de-libre-esdras-l%C3%B3pez-y-denis-s%C3%A1nchez |title=Expulsados de Libre Esdras López y Denis Sánchez - Diario La Prensa |website=Laprensa.hn |date=2016-02-16 |access-date=2016-07-31}}</ref> Since 4 of PAC's congressmen did not make their vote public during the Supreme Court election, [[Salvador Nasralla]] accused them of being now congressmen of the National Party, nonetheless, they have not been formally expelled of the party.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.latribuna.hn/2016/02/22/diputados-del-pac-hoy-al-banquillo-de-los-acusados/ |title=Diputados del Pac hoy al banquillo de los acusados - Diario La Tribuna Honduras |website=Latribuna.hn |date=2016-02-22 |access-date=2016-07-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160409183756/http://www.latribuna.hn/2016/02/22/diputados-del-pac-hoy-al-banquillo-de-los-acusados/ |archive-date=2016-04-09 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
