US EditionConservative Asfura leads Honduras presidential elections, preliminary results show
Nasry Asfura leads with 40.54% of votes in early count amid a virtual tie with Salvador Nasralla, as Honduras faces political polarization and fraud allegations.
- On November 30, Nasry Asfura, National Party candidate and former mayor of Tegucigalpa, led the preliminary count with 40.54% and about 43% of polling places counted.
- Trump intervened in the campaign days before the vote by endorsing Nasry Asfura and pardoning Juan Orlando Hernández on December 1, intensifying the polarized campaign.
- Observers and the CNE urged patience, with Ana Paola Hall calling it a 'technical tie' as Asfura leads by just 515 votes and citing transmission issues delaying 43% of tally sheets.
- The CNE has up to 30 days to certify results, with officials saying results could be declared before Christmas; General Roosevelt Hernández said the military will recognize new authorities only after the National Electoral Council publishes official results, stressing physical ballot backups exist for manual verification.
- A rightward shift could reshape Honduras' foreign alignments as the vote will choose a president, 128 members of Congress, and 298 mayors amid migration and fragile institutions.
