US EditionUS urges parties to accept Honduras vote outcome after Trump-backed Asfura wins
- On Dec 24, the Trump administration urged all parties to accept Honduras' election outcome after Nasry Asfura was declared victor by the electoral body on Wednesday.
- The Nov. 30 vote was marked by weeks of delays, technical problems and fraud allegations, with electoral authorities declaring results before finishing an audit and reviewing tally sheets under 'special scrutiny' last week.
- Vote totals showed center-right Salvador Nasralla received 39.53% and Rixi Moncada 19.2%, while the electoral council had three councillors and only two declared the winner.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said 'The United States urges all parties to respect the confirmed results so that Honduran authorities may swiftly ensure a peaceful transition of authority to President-Elect Nasry Asfura', while observers warned 'That will have an impact on the government's credibility'.
- President Donald Trump publicly backed Asfura and pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez the day before the vote, linking pre-election U.S. political actions to the outcome.
