Honduran Presidential Candidate Nasralla Blames Trump’s Interference as Opponent Takes Lead

HeadlineDec 05, 2025

Honduran presidential candidate Salvador Nasralla has alleged fraud after his conservative rival Nasry Asfura regained the lead, as election officials continue to tally up votes from Sunday’s election. Nasralla also accused President Trump of interfering in the race by publicly backing Asfura. Some election officials have also publicly criticized the election process. On Thursday, Marlon Ochoa, who serves on Honduras’s National Electoral Council, decried what he called an electoral “coup.” He said, “I believe there is unanimity among the Honduran people that we are perhaps in the least transparent election in our democratic history.”
