Honduras Election Results Controversy

In a post on the ‘Truth Social’ platform, he stated, ‘There are indications that Honduras is seeking to alter the results of its elections.’ He added, ‘If this happens, the consequences will be severe. The Honduran people voted heavily on November 30, but the National Electoral Commission—the body responsible for counting—suddenly halted the counting process at midnight.’

He explained that ‘the preliminary results showed a tight race between Nasry Asfura and Salvador Nasralla, with Asfura leading by a narrow margin of no more than 500 votes before the count was stopped at only 47% of the total votes.’

Nasry Asfura, the candidate supported by the American president, is engaged in a very close race for the presidency, as preliminary results showed a very slight difference with his right-wing opponent after more than half of the votes were counted.

According to the National Electoral Commission, the right-wing businessman and former mayor of Tegucigalpa, 67-year-old Nasry Asfura, who received support from Trump in a direct intervention in the campaign, leads by 515 votes over the other right-wing candidate, 72-year-old television presenter Salvador Nasralla, after 57% of the votes have been counted.

In this context, the chairwoman of the commission, Ana Paola Hall, stated on the ‘X’ platform that the results so far show a ‘technical tie,’ urging voters to ‘be patient,’ without specifying a deadline for the completion of the counting process.
