Trump-backed Nasry Asfura wins Honduras presidential election amid delays and fraud claims
Conservative businessman Nasry Asfura, backed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, has won Honduras' presidential election by a narrow margin. The results followed a lengthy vote count marked by delays and allegations of fraud. Asfura narrowly defeated Liberal Party candidate Salvador Nasralla, who rejected the results and called for a recount. The election outcome signifies a shift to the right in Latin America and marks the return of the right wing to power in Honduras after a leftist administration. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio congratulated Asfura, expressing a desire to work on security and economic ties.
