Honduras held presidential elections on Sunday amid fears of potential volatility. Voters chose between Rixi Moncada of the governing left-wing Libre Party, Nasry Asfura, a conservative candidate endorsed by former U.S. President Trump, and Salvador Nasralla of the Liberal Party. Trump's endorsement of Asfura and announcement of a pardon for the unpopular former president, Juan Orlando Hernández, convicted on drug charges, has heightened tensions. The right-wing candidates have accused the Libre Party of plotting to remain in power, reminding Hondurans of the violence that followed the contested 2017 election. Residents in the capital were on edge, stocking up on supplies in anticipation of potential unrest.
