US EditionHondurans face elections under the shadow of Trump and fraud allegations
Hondurans face a tight presidential race amid mutual fraud accusations and U.S. involvement, including Trump’s endorsement and a controversial pardon of a former president.
- Nov 30, Hondurans head to the polls amid concerns over voter fraud after President Donald Trump endorsed a candidate and announced a pardon for ex‑President Juan Orlando Hernández.
- Most polls show a virtual tie among three leading contenders, with candidates trading accusations of manipulation while prosecutors probe alleged audio recordings and the Honduran military seeks tally sheets amid voting material delays.
- Polls opened Sunday at 7am local time for ten hours as 6.5 million Hondurans choose a president, 128 members of Congress, hundreds of mayors, and thousands of public officials.
- The Organization of American States urged free elections, and Jennifer Lopez said, `We are hoping that there will be no fraud and that the elections will be peaceful.`
- Incumbent Xiomara Castro is barred from another term, so the election will decide post-Castro policies, with Asfura and Nasralla proposing to restore Taipei relations and critics citing rights concerns linked to Juan Orlando Hernández's legacy.
