Honduras Plunges Into Post-Election Turmoil as Electoral Official Alleges “Monumental Fraud” A member of Honduras’s electoral authority says deliberate manipulation and internal sabotage compromised the general election vote—complicating a razor-thin race marred by U.S. interference. José Luis Granados Ceja Dec 06, 2025 Trump’s call for Honduras to vote for Asfura boosted Asfura’s candidacy when the conservative candidate had been polling in third place ahead of election day. Trump centered his criticisms on Libre Party presidential candidate Rixi Moncada, but did not spare Nasralla. The Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH), an influential grassroots social organization that advocates for human and Indigenous rights, said that, no matter who ultimately triumphs, entrenched political and criminal elites now find themselves in a position to retake power. The group published a statement that said, “The electoral trend published by the National Electoral Council reveals a political power dispute between the National Party and the Liberal Party, historically responsible for the poverty and injustice suffered by Honduras.” COPINH also fiercely denounced Washington’s actions and urged a united front to defend the country’s sovereignty and its popular movements. “The electoral process in our country demonstrates the real ability of the United States to influence our fragile democracy,” said COPINH. “We reject U.S. interference and its hypocritical ‘international fight against drug trafficking,’ made evident by the release of narco-dictator Juan Orlando Hernández.” The overt U.S. interference comes as Washington, under Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, brings a renewed focus on Latin America and the Caribbean. The Trump administration released its National Security Strategy on Thursday, a document that explicitly spells out the government’s attention on the Western Hemisphere, framing a “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine that pledges to reassert U.S. dominance in the region. Trump’s intervention in favor of Asfura aligns with this new vision, seeking to put an unconditional ally into power in Tegucigalpa that will allow the U.S. to extend its economic and military influence in Central America.
