Rixi Moncada, presidential candidate of Honduras’ Liberty and Refoundation Party (Libre), on Thursday denounced as fraudulent and foreign-imposed the proclamation of Nasry Juan Asfura, of the National Party, as president-elect of the Central American country.

In statements published on her X account, Moncada accused the National Electoral Council (CNE) of acting under orders from the United States and of undermining what she described as Honduras’ fragile democratic process. She argued that the decision to recognize Asfura constituted an externally driven imposition rather than the expression of popular will.
“The civilized peoples of the world must know that the president-elect comes from the business sector that called for Donald Trump’s intervention. During the electoral silence, they paid for massive threatening messages against voters who receive remittances, with the sole intention of twisting the popular will,” Moncada wrote.
En Honduras el CNE atendiendo las instrucciones del imperio, asesinó nuestra incipiente democracia, pero nuestro pueblo no es ingenuo: la proclama del “presidente electo” es un fraude y una imposición extranjera.

The Libre candidate stated that Honduras’ long-standing two-party system left evidence of what she described as a criminal and fraudulent plan in 26 audio recordings, which she said must be investigated “to the fullest extent.” She added: “The plan has been consummated today, but I trust that the truth is immutable and eternal.”
Moncada also reiterated her denunciations of alleged irregularities in the Preliminary Electoral Results Transmission System (TREP), as well as the existence of thousands of tally sheets with anomalies that, according to her, cast doubt on the transparency of the process. She said she would remain in resistance against what she described as an electoral coup carried out by the CNE.
On Wednesday, CNE councilors Ana Paola Hall García and Cossette Alejandra López Osorio declared Asfura president-elect for the term running from January 27, 2026, to January 27, 2030. Moncada has described that decision as the culmination of an illegitimate process.
Asfura’s recognition, as a candidate publicly backed by Donald Trump, came amid allegations of irregularities during the vote count, claims of strong foreign interference, and accusations of a pre-election plot ahead of the November 30 polls. These objections were raised by Libre, the Liberal Party, and CNE councilor Marlon Ochoa, who, among other issues, questioned the refusal of the other councilors to conduct a vote-by-vote recount.
