National Electoral Council (CNE)

The National Electoral Council (CNE) is Honduras' electoral authority responsible for conducting national elections. Recently, they resumed vote tallies amid allegations of fraud following the country's November 30 presidential election. The CNE has been involved in a manual count of votes after a technical tie emerged between conservative candidate Nasry Asfura and centrist candidate Salvador Nasralla. With 80% of ballots counted, Nasralla leads Asfura by a narrow margin. The CNE has called for patience as they continue the vote count, which has drawn attention from US President Donald Trump who has expressed concerns over the election's outcome. The recent developments highlight the significance of the CNE in ensuring the integrity and transparency of Honduras' electoral process.
