Three and a half weeks after the Central American nation’s elections, Nasry Asfura has been declared the victor of the November 30 vote. The conservative former mayor of capital city Tegucigalpa, who has been endorsed by U.S. President Donald Trump, beat second-placed Salvador Nasralla, the National Electoral Council announced on Wednesday evening. The Honduran electoral authorities declared Asfura victor with 97.9% of the results counted, and said it was mathematically impossible for the results to change. Asfura, of the National Party, received 40.3% of the vote to Nasralla’s 39.5% — a difference of 27,026 votes. “I recognize the great work of the electoral commissioners and the whole team that implemented the elections,” Asfura wrote on X after the results were announced.
