Honduras holds primaries as voter frustration simmers over security and the economy

In Honduras, voters will select candidates from three main parties for the November general election amidst rising dissatisfaction over security and economic issues.
President Xiomara Castro has a tense relationship with the United States and faces criticism over her defense minister running for office while in a military role.
Candidates include Ana García of the National Party, who represents a return to past governance, and Salvador Nasralla and Jorge Cálix from the Liberal Party, who are aiming for change.
Approximately 5.8 million Hondurans are eligible to vote, but low participation is expected due to concerns over employment linked to party affiliation.
