A member of Honduras's National Electoral Council (CNE), Cossette Lopez-Osorio, accused fellow council member Marlon Ochoa of disrupting a news conference intended to resume the release of election results. Lopez-Osorio, representing the National Party, alleged that Ochoa, affiliated with the LIBRE party, sent party members and staff to intimidate and prevent the public appearance at the Hotel Plaza Juan Carlos in Tegucigalpa. The accusation comes as the country awaits the outcome of Sunday's presidential election, with candidates Salvador Nasralla and Nasry Asfura in a close race. Approximately 20 percent of the votes remain to be counted. The CNE, composed of representatives from the three main political parties, has faced controversies and accusations of malpractice leading up to the election.
