Protests Delay Honduran Special Vote Recount
In Honduras, protests by supporters of the ruling LIBRE party have delayed a special recount of ballots from the recent presidential election.
The recount was supposed to check about 15% of the ballots that had some problems.
The election happened on November 30, and the counting process has been messy with technical issues and political fights.
The current results show Nasry Asfura from the National Party in the lead, followed by Salvador Nasralla from the Liberal Party.
The protests are making it hard to finish the recount, and the country is in a state of political uncertainty.
Protests by LIBRE party supporters delayed a special recount of 15% of ballots with inconsistencies.
The recount was supposed to start on December 15 but was prevented by the protests.
Current preliminary results show Nasry Asfura leading with 40.54% of the vote, followed by Salvador Nasralla with 39.19%.
The recount could potentially change the standings of the top two candidates.
The election process has been chaotic, with technical failures and political infighting.
