National Electoral Council (CNE)

The National Electoral Council (CNE) is the Honduran body responsible for overseeing and managing elections, including vote counting and result announcements. The CNE is currently newsworthy due to its role in the contested November 30, 2025, presidential election. The vote count has been plagued by allegations of fraud and inconsistencies, leading to a temporary pause in tallies. The CNE has called for patience as it conducts a manual recount of votes. The election's outcome remains uncertain, with both candidates, Salvador Nasralla and Nasry Asfura, claiming victory. The CNE's actions and decisions are under intense scrutiny, both domestically and internationally, due to the history of contested elections in Honduras and the involvement of foreign actors, such as the United States.
