Honduras Finalizes Results as Peru’s Crowded 2026 Field Enters Legal Scrutiny

Judicial review will determine outcomes in both countries.

Overview

  • Hondu ras’s electoral authority proclaimed Nasry ‘Tito’ Asfura president‑elect and, just before the deadline, issued final results for Congress and mayors.
  • Salvador Nasralla filed an impugnation and requested special recounts with the Tribunal de Justicia Electoral, which said it will process qualifying petitions without public comment on the merits.
  • The declared congressional makeup gives the National Party 49 of 128 seats, leaving Asfura short of a majority and dependent on negotiations to pass legislation.
  • Peru’s election body logged 36 presidential tickets and 1,712 legislative and Andean Parliament lists, as parties reported registration platform failures and sought administrative remedies.
  • Peru’s JNE admitted Perú Libre’s ticket led by fugitive Vladimir Cerrón into the tacha window, a JEE admitted a challenge against Mario Vizcarra over a peculado conviction, and a tacha against Rafael López Aliaga’s slate was deemed inadmissible pending fee payment.
