Honduras Election Results Disputed
In Honduras, the presidential election results are being disputed.
Nasry Asfura is leading with 40.53% of the votes, followed closely by Salvador Nasralla with 39.16%.
Both candidates have accused each other of fraud and irregularities.
President Xiomara Castro has also accused the U.S. President Donald Trump of interfering in the election.
The U.S. government, however, says the election was fair.
More than a week after the elections, thousands of voting records with inconsistencies still need to be reviewed.
The final results are expected by December 30, and the winner will take office in January for the 2026-2030 term.
Nasry Asfura leads with 40.53% of the vote, Salvador Nasralla has 39.16%, and Rixi Moncada has 19.29%.
About 14.5% of tally sheets have inconsistencies and will be reviewed in a special count.
Both leading candidates and President Xiomara Castro have claimed fraud and irregularities, with Castro accusing Trump of interference.
The U.S. government has stated the election was fair with no credible evidence justifying its annulment.
The final results are expected by December 30, with the winner taking office in January for the 2026-2030 term.
