Overview

  • Electoral authorities have not updated results for nearly 48 hours, leaving the presidential contest too close to call.
  • The last published figures show Nasry Asfura at 40.19% and Salvador Nasralla at 39.49% with 88% tallied, while Rixi Moncada stands at 19.30%.
  • Officials say roughly 14% of tally sheets show inconsistencies under review, and council members blame the tabulation platform provider for repeated pauses.
  • The ruling LIBRE party formally asked the CNE to annul the count, the council extended deadlines for annulment or special recount requests, and Nasralla rejected annulment while alleging errors and seeking a detailed review.
  • The CNE authorized a repeat vote in San Antonio de Flores with 4,996 registered voters, which could affect the outcome given a 515-vote national gap, as streets remain calm but public trust erodes.
