In Honduras, the head of the National Electoral Council (CNE) stated that disturbances are hindering the recount of ballots from the November 30th presidential election. This announcement comes amid ongoing protests and unrest due to the unresolved election results, where Nasry Asfura holds a narrow lead over Salvador Nasralla. The CNE plans to re-examine nearly 2,800 ballots, but infighting within the council has caused delays. While both Nasralla and the outgoing president have alleged vote tampering, the Organization of American States (OAS) stated that there is no evidence to doubt the results. The OAS has urged electoral authorities to begin the special recount immediately to obtain official results.
