Honduras Election: Nasralla Challenges Asfura's Narrow Victory
In Honduras, a very close presidential election ended with Nasry Asfura winning by a tiny margin over Salvador Nasralla.
Nasralla, who came in second, says the election wasn't fair and has asked for a recount in many areas.
He thinks some votes for Asfura were counted wrongly.
Asfura's team says there was no cheating.
The election took a long time to finish, and many people are upset and don't trust the results.
Nasralla has challenged the results before, and this time, his supporters are protesting.
The new president is supposed to start in January, but this fight might delay things.
Salvador Nasralla challenged the presidential election results, alleging fraud and inconsistencies.
Nasry Asfura was declared the winner by less than 1% of the vote.
Nasralla's team requested a recount in 12 of the 18 departments.
The Electoral Justice Tribunal (TJE) asked for more documentation before deciding on the challenge.
Asfura's party denied allegations of fraud, and his inauguration is scheduled for January 27, 2026.
