Honduran election authorities resumed vote tallies on December 8, 2025, after a three-day pause due to fraud allegations following the November 30 election. With 89% of ballots counted, conservative candidate Nasry Asfura leads centrist Salvador Nasralla by a narrow margin. The electoral body is reviewing approximately 14% of tally sheets due to inconsistencies. The election has been plagued by fraud claims and controversy, including statements from former U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting a preference for Asfura. The situation is tense due to Honduras' history of contested elections and political violence following a 2009 coup. Candidates have been urged to remain vigilant and file challenges according to the law.
