Honduras Election Dispute Deepens as Nasralla Seeks Recount, Electoral Court Requests CNE Files

The electoral court requested CNE records within 48 hours to evaluate a special recount petition.

Overview

  • Opposition candidate Salvador Nasralla filed a request for a special review and recount of unrevised tally sheets shortly before the legal proclamation deadline.
  • A document shared by Marco Tulio Medina indicates the Electoral Justice Tribunal asked the CNE for supporting documentation within 48 hours prior to deciding on admission.
  • The tribunal said it will process petitions that meet requirements and urged parties to refrain from public judgments until the full bench rules.
  • The CNE named Nasry Asfura the winner on December 24 by less than one percentage point after more than three weeks of scrutiny.
  • CNE counselors warned they will defend constitutional order, noting that if definitive results are not proclaimed by the deadline the dispute shifts to Congress under Article 205.
