Honduras Resumes Vote Count as Asfura Leads With Over 90% Tallied

The country remains without an official winner more than a week after voting despite the count restarting under technical oversight.

Overview

  • With 90.31% of tally sheets processed, Nasry Asfura has 40.23% of the vote to Salvador Nasralla’s 39.48%, a lead of about 20,000 ballots.
  • The National Electoral Council restarted updates Monday after a three‑day halt attributed to technical problems at the contracted Colombian provider and fixes conducted with an external audit.
  • The prolonged slowdown has intensified demands from Nasralla for a clean count as the race stays too close to call.
  • Libre called for total annulment of the elections and urged mobilizations, while its candidate Rixi Moncada remains in third place with 19.27%.
  • Despite a roughly 4 billion lempira modernization effort, the results system suffered failures, and the CNE has until December 30 to certify final results.
