Honduras’ Attorney General Johel Zelaya announced on Tuesday that judicial actions will be launched to clarify what occurred during the general elections held on November 30, following the release of the final declaration by the National Electoral Council (CNE).

In a post on his X account, Zelaya said that “the Public Prosecutor’s Office, acting with constitutional responsibility and absolute respect for the democratic order, did not intervene in or interrupt any stage of the general elections process.” He added that “no act that undermines the popular will and, therefore, sovereignty will remain in impunity,” reaffirming the institution’s commitment to the Honduran people.
The announcement followed the virtual release of election results by CNE councilors Ana Paola Hall and Cossette López, together with alternate councilor Carlos Cardona, six hours before the legal deadline. The results favored National Party candidate Nasry Asfura, who received public support from former US President Donald Trump during the campaign, including promises of increased assistance to Honduras if Asfura won.

Asfura’s victory was made public on December 24 and has been described by various sectors as an institutional fraud, citing an incomplete vote count. Opposition voices rejected the outcome and called for a process they argue should be fair and fully transparent. CNE councilor Marlon Ochoa stated that he would not accept the results without the completion of the vote tally for all polling records.
According to official figures released by the CNE, the National Party secured 49 of the 128 seats in the National Congress, followed by the Liberal Party with 41 seats, Libre with 35, Innovation and Social Democratic Unity with two, and the Christian Democracy party with one. In municipal races, the National Party won 151 mayoralties, the Liberal Party 76, Libre 69, Innovation and Social Democratic Unity one, along with one independent candidate.
Zelaya said the judicial actions would set “a precedent in the country’s history” in an electoral process he said had been marked by fraud and US interference. He stressed their importance “so that shameful practices that harm democracy and the rule of law are not repeated.”
