US EditionTrump administration restricts 2 Honduran election officials’ visas over special vote count
The U.S. revoked visas of two Honduran officials from the Liberty and Refoundation party to deter interference in a special vote count amid a narrow election margin.
- On Friday, the U.S. State Department revoked Mario Morazán's visa and denied Marlon Ochoa's application, targeting officials accused of interfering with Honduras's special vote count.
- Officials began the special vote count on Thursday after more than a week of paralysis, nearly 20 days after the election, with electoral officials revising 2,792 ballot boxes.
- With 99.85% counted, Nasry Asfura leads with 40.24% to Salvador Nasralla's 39.64% while Rixi Moncada of Liberty and Refoundation holds 19.12%.
- The State Department said the measures aim to deter those impeding the Honduran vote count and protect U.S. national security and regional stability.
- The move follows a pattern of U.S. involvement in Honduran affairs, with President Donald Trump pardoning Juan Orlando Hernández, sentenced last year to 45 years, highlighting past interventions.
