The latest vote count has Trump's favoured right-wing candidate Nasry Asfura just 515 ballots ahead of his rival. United States President Donald Trump has lashed out as Honduras announced that it is to conduct a manual count of votes cast in the November 30 presidential election. The National Electoral Council (CNE) called for patience on Tuesday as it launched the count.
In a message on Truth Social, Trump endorsed the conservative candidate Nasry Tito Asfura of the National Party, claiming they could work together to combat drug trafficking. Trump also attacked the other candidates, accusing them of being communists. Torres, however, welcomed the Republican's comments, saying it affects the conservative candidates seeking the presidency of Honduras, which goes to the polls on Sunday.
