Tegucigalpa Mobilizes for Vote Recount Amidst Presidential Election Controversy

In the wake of Honduras' recent presidential elections, the ruling Libertad y Refundación (Libre) party is demanding a recount of votes, particularly in Tegucigalpa, where they claim victory for Jorge Aldana, the incumbent mayor. Manuel Zelaya, the party's leader, has called for a public demonstration on Monday at 4 PM local time outside the Instituto Nacional de Formación Profesional to protest against what they view as electoral irregularities. The National Electoral Council (CNE) declared conservative candidate Nasry Asfura the winner by a narrow margin of 0.74%. The situation is tense, with accusations of political persecution against CNE officials and concerns over the stability of the nation as further election results are expected by December 30.

Key Details: • Public protest scheduled for Monday at 4 PM at Instituto Nacional de Formación Profesional. • CNE to announce final election results by December 30. • Asfura declared winner with a margin of just 0.74% over Salvador Nasralla.
