In Honduras's recent presidential election on November 30, 2025, former U.S. President Trump's last-minute endorsement of National Party candidate Nasry Asfura and denouncement of his opponents influenced some voters. One voter, José Ignacio Cerrato López, switched his vote to Asfura due to fears of deteriorating U.S.-Honduras relations if Trump's preferred candidate lost. Trump also announced he would pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, convicted of drug trafficking. The election results have been disputed, with the other two leading candidates claiming fraud and unjust interference, reminiscent of the controversial 2017 election. The tabulation issues have fueled doubts about the election's integrity, leaving the outcome unresolved.
