Honduras Count Nears Finish as Castro Alleges Falsification and President Trump’s Interference

Election authorities say an external audit is underway to verify disputed tally sheets.

Overview

  • With roughly 99% of ballots tallied, the CNE shows Nasry Asfura at about 40.5% and Salvador Nasralla near 39.2%.
  • The CNE says 2,749 tally sheets flagged for incoherences, representing 14.5% of valid votes, are being reviewed after repeated system failures.
  • CNE president Ana Paola Hall says technical fixes are in place alongside an independent audit following disruptions tied to the preliminary results system.
  • Nasralla calls the result a theft and demands a ballot-by-ballot recount, while President Xiomara Castro and the ruling Libre party seek total annulment and denounce U.S. interference.
  • Honduras’s attorney general asked Interpol to execute an international arrest warrant for ex-president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was pardoned by President Trump and released on December 1.
