Amidst contested claims and fraud allegations following the Honduran election on December 10, 2025, the military has pledged to ensure an orderly transfer of power. Armed forces chief Roosevelt Hernandez stated the military will support and recognize the election results, despite President Xiomara Castro's denouncement of an "electoral coup." Preliminary results show Libre Party's Rixi Moncada trailing behind center-right Salvador Nasralla and Trump-backed Nasry Asfura, who leads by a narrow margin. Allegations of fraud, technical issues during vote counting, and pre-election interference by Donald Trump have further complicated the situation. The National Electoral Council has requested military deployment to secure ballot storage locations.
