Honduras Election Scrutiny Faces Delays as Key Votes Remain Uncounted
The special vote counting process in Honduras is progressing slowly, with only eight days left until the National Electoral Council (CNE) must officially announce results. Currently, National Party candidate Nasry 'Tito' Asfura leads with 40.34% of the votes, followed closely by Salvador Nasralla at 39.49%, a margin of just 29,446 votes. The scrutiny began on November 18, delayed by five days, and has faced interruptions, including a 12-hour halt over the weekend. With 1,540 ballots still to be counted, tensions are rising among candidates regarding the transparency of the electoral process. The CNE has until December 30 to finalize results, or the matter will be escalated to Congress.
