Answer

The ousting of Zelaya occurred on June 28, 2009, when a group of military officers and politicians removed him from power in a coup d'état. The coup was motivated by Zelaya's attempts to reform the constitution and extend his term in office, which were seen as unconstitutional by his opponents. The coup sparked international condemnation and led to a political crisis in Honduras that lasted for several years.
