About

Nasry Asfura is a Honduran conservative politician from the National Party. He recently won the presidential election held on November 30, 2025, amidst significant controversy and allegations of fraud. His victory is newsworthy due to the close margin, the ensuing political unrest, and the explicit endorsement he received from then-US President Donald Trump. The election results were delayed for weeks due to technical problems and fraud claims, leading to protests and a recount. Opponent Salvador Nasralla disputed the results, and the previous president alleged interference from Trump. Despite these challenges and allegations, Asfura was declared the winner, leading to concerns about Honduras's potential return to being a US outpost and further polarizing the political landscape. The situation remains tense, with a lawmaker injured in an explosive incident following the election.
