Trump candidate wins elections in Honduras

His main opponent at the polls, Salvador Nasralla, accused the CNE of acting under the orders of “organized crime” and accused former president Juan Orlando Hernández, who received a pardon from President Trump, of “engineering a fraud” in the elections on November 30th.

After Asfura’s declaration of victory, Nasralla said he “does not accept” the electoral body’s conclusion because it does not reflect the complete truth of the citizen vote (…)”.

In turn, Honduran presidential candidate Rixi Moncada, from the Freedom and Refoundation (Libre) party, currently in power with leftist president Xiomara Castro, said this Thursday (25) that the CNE “murdered the country’s incipient democracy” by proclaiming the conservative as the winner of the presidential elections. She defined the victory as a “fraud and a foreign imposition”.

With the count completed weeks after the vote, Xiomara Castro stated that she will not remain in office “not one day more, not one day less” beyond the four years of her mandate, which will end on January 27, 2026.
