- Story Text: Hondurans will go to the polls on Sunday (November 30) to vote in a tightly fought presidential election beset by heated accusations of fraud in one of Latin America's poorest countries.
Residents will arrive at the polls to vote in an election that remains a toss-up, with polls showing Nasry Asfura of the conservative National Party and former mayor of the capital Tegucigalpa, virtually tied with former defense minister Rixi Moncada, of the ruling leftist LIBRE Party, and television host Salvador Nasralla of the centrist Liberal Party.
Honduras has been governed since 2021 by President Xiomara Castro, who has forged close ties with Cuba and Venezuela, two countries mired in deep economic and human rights crises whose governments the Trump administration sees as dictatorships.
On Wednesday (November 26), U.S. President Donald Trump weighed in on Honduras' tightly contested presidential race, backing Asfura, saying he can work with Asfura to counter drug trafficking.
Whichever candidate wins a simple majority on Sunday will govern the country between 2026 and 2030. Some political analysts fear more than one candidate could claim victory, given the closeness of the race.
In addition to the president, voters will elect all 128 members of Congress and thousands of local officials.
