Electoral Turmoil: A Country on Edge Amid Unfolding Chaos

Honduran President Xiomara Castro has denounced an "electoral coup" as chaotic vote counts from the presidential election unfold. Amidst unsubstantiated fraud claims and the influence of external powers, protests erupted in Tegucigalpa. The election is marred by controversies and technical failures, casting a shadow over the democratic process.

Honduran President Xiomara Castro condemned the current handling of the November 30 presidential election, labeling it an "electoral coup." Her statement comes as hundreds gathered in Tegucigalpa demanding transparency amidst a tumultuous vote count, marked by technical failures and unproven fraud accusations.

Tensions escalated as former president and LIBRE leader Manuel Zelaya urged supporters to reject the electoral process. The National Electoral Council (CNE) responded with calls for military protection of ballot storage sites. Meanwhile, leading candidates Asfura and Nasralla both declared victory, adding to the nation's uncertainty.

American President Donald Trump has intervened, backing conservative candidate Asfura, further complicating matters. With the election results under intense scrutiny, any irregularities are poised to invite immediate and decisive actions from international observers.
