Honduras: Asfura Wins Presidency with Slim Congressional Majority

The elected President of Honduras, conservative Nasri Asfura, who was strongly supported by Donald Trump, will have a slim majority in Congress, securing 49 seats out of a total of 128. This necessitates seeking alliances with other parties, such as the Liberal Party (41 seats) and LIBRE (35 seats), to achieve an absolute majority (54 seats) and govern effectively. Asfura's election was controversial, marked by allegations of fraud and support from former US President Trump. He will assume office on January 27, 2026.
