Nasralla Edges Ahead in Honduras as Vote Count Tops 63 Percent

Libre candidate Rixi Moncada challenges the process over thousands of non‑verified protocols, signaling a 30‑day review.

Overview

  • With 63.2% of tally sheets processed, the CNE reports Salvador Nasralla at 39.99% and Nasri Asfura at 39.77%, a lead of 4,427 votes, with Rixi Moncada at 19.18%.
  • Moncada alleges large‑scale falsification, citing 2,859 tally sheets uploaded without biometric verification and more than 543,000 votes she says benefited opposition parties.
  • She says her campaign will seek a review of election acts within the legally allowed 30‑day window.
  • President Donald Trump claimed the CNE halted counting around 47% and warned of severe consequences, after previously urging support for Asfura and announcing a pardon for ex‑president Juan Orlando Hernández.
  • Russia’s Foreign Ministry criticized Trump’s statements as interference in Honduras’ internal affairs, underscoring the international scrutiny of the process.
