Head of state and government
Sourced
Titles are translated from Spanish (Secretario de Estado en el Despacho de ...). Finance and Agriculture are confirmed on the secretariats' own websites. The presidency portal refused automated access (HTTP 403), the foreign ministry domains did not resolve, and the Education, Defence and Security sites do not name the minister, so the other seats are sourced from Spanish Wikipedia and Honduran news. Start dates are given only where a source states an exact day. Lesser secretariats and agencies (for example Children, Adolescence and Family) are not listed.
