Overview
- With 88.6% of tally sheets processed, Nasry Asfura holds 40.19% to Salvador Nasralla’s 39.49%, according to the electoral authority.
- The election board reports roughly 12% of returns with inconsistencies and says about 2,000 tally sheets will undergo special review.
- OAS observers cite repeated interruptions, technical shortcomings, and an extremely close race while calling for stronger traceability measures.
- Nasralla alleges manipulation and now claims more than 5,000 records show serious errors, says he will file challenges, and doubts results before the December 30 legal deadline.
- U.S. involvement has intensified as President Donald Trump endorsed Asfura, warned of consequences if results were altered, and pardoned ex-president Juan Orlando Hernández, while a senior State Department official urged safeguards for an accurate count.
