Overview
- With 84.5% of ballots tallied in Honduras, Nasry Asfura holds a narrow lead over Salvador Nasralla after repeated technical stoppages, and a repeat vote in San Antonio de Flores could still influence the outcome.
- Peru’s Congress approved a 60‑day delegation of legislative powers to the executive to issue decrees on citizen security, organized crime, economic measures and institutional reforms, drawing public thanks from President José Jerí.
- Lawmakers also authorized Jerí to make a one‑day trip to Ecuador for the binational cabinet while remaining in virtual charge of the presidency, a move passed 88–13 that drew criticism from some legislators.
- Peru’s regional governors urged a National Preventive Electoral Security Plan after recent attacks on candidates, citing the shooting of presidential hopeful Rafael Belaunde and the killing of congressional candidate Percy Ipanaqué.
- In Mexico City, the Electoral Tribunal invalidated the local PRI leadership and four deputies left the PVEM to rejoin Morena, prompting opposition claims that the legislature’s composition no longer reflects voters’ choices.
