Honduras Vote Count Drags as Trump Alleges Interference in Razor‑Thin Race

Preliminary tallies show Nasry Asfura and Salvador Nasralla effectively tied as officials face scrutiny over slow reporting.

Overview

  • With 57% of tally sheets processed, the CNE shows Nasry Asfura at 39.91% and Salvador Nasralla at 39.89%, a 515‑vote gap, with Rixi Moncada near 19%.
  • President Donald Trump claimed Honduras is trying to “change” the result and warned of “serious consequences” after previously endorsing Asfura and signaling a pardon for ex‑president Juan Orlando Hernández.
  • The U.S. Office of Western Hemisphere Affairs congratulated high participation and urged patience while official counting continues under Honduras’ single‑round system.
  • Asfura criticized the pace of updates and pressed CNE chief Ana Paola Hall to publish results as the electoral website experienced instability.
  • International observers from the OAS and EU are on the ground, and concerns over credibility linger following an earlier military request for access to vote tally sheets.
