Honduras’s electoral council suspended the release of presidential election results for the Nov. 30 election for a second time, citing unscheduled maintenance, as Liberal Party candidate Salvador Nasralla held on to a thin lead over National Party’s Nasry Asfura, who U.S. President Donald Trump has endorsed.

The pause happened without notice, according to Cossette Lopez-Osorio, an electoral council official, who called it “inexcusable” on social media platform X. This latest delay adds to a growing number of issues around the election amid allegations of inefficiency, fraud, and foreign interference.
