TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — Trump-backed candidate Nasry Asfura won         data-gtm-enhancement-style="LinkEnhancementA" href="https://apnews.com/hub/honduras">Honduras’ presidential election, electoral authorities said Wednesday afternoon, ending a weeks-long count that has whittled away at the credibility of the Central American nation’s fragile electoral system.

The election is continuing Latin America’s         data-gtm-enhancement-style="LinkEnhancementA" href="https://apnews.com/article/election-chile-kast-jara-boric-trump-05f915fd5eda909c13fd283f90f8d8e5">swing to the right, coming just a week after Chile chose the far-right politician         data-gtm-enhancement-style="LinkEnhancementA" href="https://apnews.com/article/chile-elections-jose-antonio-kast-jara-gabriel-boric-trump-e09ac673bfa15364251a5d324b97dc41">José Antonio Kast as its next president.

Asfura, of the conservative National Party, received 40.27% of the vote in the Nov. 30 vote, edging out four-time candidate Salvador Nasralla of the conservative Liberal Party, who finished with 39.53% of the vote.


   
       
   

Honduras’ president-elect

The former mayor of Honduras’ capital Tegucigalpa, won in his second bid for the presidency, after he and Nasralla were neck-and-neck during a weeks-long vote count that fueled international concern.



On Tuesday night a number of electoral officials and candidates were already fighting and contesting the results of the election. Meanwhile, followers in Asfura’s campaign headquarters erupted into cheers.

Asfura, in a video statement released late Wednesday night, promised to be a unifying force for the Central American nation.

“Today, with deep gratitude, I accept the honor of being able to work for you. I extend my hand so we can walk together with determination to work tirelessly for Honduras. I will not fail you,” he said.

The results were a         data-gtm-enhancement-style="LinkEnhancementA" href="https://apnews.com/article/honduras-trump-castro-zelaya-corruption-1fea54ad5b4a07cd576d79ec91b9f6c0">rebuke of the current leftist leader, and her governing democratic socialist Liberty and Re-foundation Party, known as LIBRE, whose candidate finished in a distant third place with 19.19% of the vote.


   
       
   

Trump takes a spotlight in Honduras

Secretary of State Marco Rubio congratulated Asfura on Wednesday, writing on a post on X: “The people of Honduras have spoken ... (the Trump administration) looks forward to working with his administration to advance prosperity and security in our hemisphere.”

The European Union and a number of right-leading leaders across Latin America, namely Trump-ally Argentine President Javier Milei, also congratulated the politician.


   
       
   

Asfura ran as a pragmatic politician, pointing to his popular infrastructure projects in the capital. Trump endorsed the 67-year-old conservative just days before the vote, saying he was the only Honduran candidate the U.S. administration would work with.
