Overview
- Hondurans cast ballots nationwide for president, Congress and 298 mayors, with more than six million eligible voters and Rixi Moncada, Nasry Asfura and Salvador Nasralla described as the leading contenders.
- The vote unfolded under a state of exception with a heavy security presence as rival campaigns accused each other of plotting fraud or a boycott.
- The electoral authority said the system was ready after months of disputes over the TREP; preliminary tallies were scheduled for 9 p.m. local time with inconsistent tally sheets set aside for next‑day review.
- OAS and European Union missions deployed to observe the process, and Transparency International cautioned about political instability and risks to credibility.
- President Donald Trump backed Asfura on Truth Social and announced a pardon for ex-president Juan Orlando Hernández, intensifying outside pressure on the contest.
