Trump-Backed Nasry Asfura Wins Presidential Election in Honduras After Weeks of Uncertainties and a Vote Recount
Another Latin American country goes right.
What was already clear during the first months of the Donald J. Trump administration became official with the release of the new National Security Strategy: the US will support the patriotic forces both in Europe and in the Western Hemisphere.
This strategy is already bearing fruit in Latin America (LATAM), where the right-wing political parties are beginning to gain the upper hand.
Yesterday (24), the conservative candidate for Honduran President, Nasry Asfura, who has been backed by Trump, was finally declared the winner – more than three weeks after the November 30 election.
The vote results were plagued by delays, technical problems and allegations of fraud.
Reuters reported:
“The Honduras electoral authority, known as the CNE, said Asfura won 40.3% of the vote, edging out center-right Liberal Party candidate Salvador Nasralla who garnered 39.5%. The candidate of the ruling LIBRE party, Rixi Moncada, came in a distant third.
Asfura ran on a broad pro-business platform saying private investment was necessary to move the country forward, while his political agenda focused on jobs, education and security.”
The people of Honduras have spoken: Nasry Asfura is Honduras’ next president. The United States congratulates President-Elect @titoasfura @papialaordenh and looks forward to working with his administration to advance prosperity and security in our hemisphere.

“The results were so close and the ballot processing system so chaotic that around 15% of the tally sheets, comprising hundreds of thousands of ballots, had to be counted by hand to determine the winner.”
The ruling leftist party LIBRE, obliterated in the polls, denounced an ‘electoral coup’, as protests tried to disrupt the manual count.
“’Honduras: I am ready to govern. I will not let you down’, Asfura said in a post on X following the confirmation of the results.”
