In Honduras, impatience builds as electoral officials have not released updates on the closely contested presidential election results for over two days. The last update showed Nasry Asfura leading slightly, but a significant portion of ballots showed inconsistencies.

Voters express frustration at the delays, with little trust in the electoral body's ability to manage the process transparently. Calls for protests, led by Rixi Moncada of the Libre Party, have emerged in response to suspected election fraud.

Amidst the chaos, there is a push from the Organization of American States for Honduras to expedite the vote tallying. Public trust hangs in the balance as patience wanes in the face of unresolved electoral tensions.
