Overview

  • The CNE stopped publishing presidential results at roughly 57% of tally sheets after a technical outage on its website.
  • The last partial count showed Nasry Asfura at 39.91% and Salvador Nasralla at 39.89%, a gap of 515 votes with 57.03% of precincts reported.
  • Electoral officials said the counted portion reflects only transmitted digital tallies and that remaining sheets will be processed at the CLE for a special and then general count before any proclamation.
  • President Donald Trump accused Honduras of trying to alter results, warned of severe consequences and possible cuts to cooperation, and urged completion of the vote count.
  • Both leading candidates claimed to hold documents proving victory and called for calm, while Libre’s Rixi Moncada demanded review of about 2,859 allegedly manipulated tally sheets before accepting any result.
