General elections were held in Honduras on 30 November 2025.[1] Voters elected the President, all 128 members of the National Congress, and 20 representatives to the Central American Parliament.
Electoral system
The President of Honduras is elected by a simple plurality in a single round of voting; the candidate with the most votes wins, regardless of whether they achieve an absolute majority.[2] The 128 members of the National Congress are elected by open list proportional representation across 18 multi-member constituencies, which correspond to the country’s departments. The number of seats per constituency ranges from one to 23.[3] Seats are allocated using the Hare quota method.[3]
Primary elections
Primary elections to select presidential, congressional, and mayoral candidates for the three major parties—LIBRE, the National Party, and the Liberal Party—were held on 9 March 2025. Eleven smaller parties selected their candidates through internal processes. A total of ten candidates contested the presidential primaries. The voting process was marred by logistical delays in the delivery of electoral materials, leading to late openings at some polling stations and triggering minor protests.[4]
Liberal Party primary
Salvador Nasralla, having unsucessfully run in 2013 and 2017, decided to join the Liberal party for a third presidential run after conflict with Libre following the 2022 Honduran political crisis and his resignation as First Vice President of Honduras on 30 April 2024.
LIBRE primary
- Rixi Moncada, Secretary of National Defense and former Secretary of Finance (2022–2024)
- Supported by the Alianza Presidencial Rixi Moncada (Rixi Moncada Presidential Alliance)
- Rasel Tomé, congressional deputy
- Supported by the Movimiento Renovación Nuevas Alternativas (MORENA) (Renewal Movement New Alternatives)
National Party primary
- Nasry Asfura, former Mayor of the Central District (Tegucigalpa) (2014–2022)
- Supported by Papi a la Orden! (Daddy at your Service!)
- Ana García Carías, former First Lady of Honduras (2014–2022)
- Supported by Avanza Por la Justicia y la Unidad (AVANZA) (Advance for Justice and Unity)
- Jorge Alberto Zelaya, congressional deputy
- Supported by Renovación Unidad Nacionalista (RUN) (Nationalist Unity Renewal)
- Roberto Martínez Lozano
- Supported by Rescate y Transformación (Rescue and Transformation)
Presidential candidates
The race features five main contenders representing a broad political spectrum, from the left-wing populism of LIBRE to the right-wing conservatism of the National Party.
Campaign
Rixi Moncada, who is supported by outgoing president Xiomara Castro, called the election a choice between a “coup-plotting oligarchy”, referring to the 2009 Honduran coup d’état, and democratic socialism. She also pledged to protect “natural wealth” from “21st-century filibusters who want to privatise everything” and combat corruption. Nasry Asfura pledged to bring “development and opportunities for everyone”, to “facilitate foreign and domestic investment into the country” and “generate employment for all”. Salvador Nasralla pledged to create an “open economy” and sever relations with Cuba and Venezuela.[6][7][citation needed]
The campaign period was notably violent. A leading independent body monitoring violence in Honduras has recorded six politically motivated homicides, four of which targeted Libre candidates. In November, a 5-year-old boy was killed when masked gunmen opened fire on a Libre campaign event.[8]
Opinion polling
Polls on election day showed Salvador Nasralla leading.[9]
Allegations of fraud and external interference
In late October 2025, audio recordings were released that allegedly featured conversations between members of the opposition—including an electoral council representative, Cossette López, Congressman Tomás Zambrano, and a military officer—discussing plans to “manipulate the popular vote.” Zambrano, a leader of the National Party, dismissed the recordings as “completely false, fabricated… manipulated (with) artificial intelligence.” In response, President Castro called for an official investigation, denouncing what she termed an “electoral coup.”[10]
The campaign has also been influenced by external actors. It has been widely reported that U.S. President Donald Trump is attempting to sway the election in favor of Nasry Asfura, whom he has publicly endorsed. Trump has reportedly warned that U.S. financial aid to Honduras could be suspended if his preferred candidate does not win.[11] In a move seen as bolstering the National Party, he has also promised to pardon former President Juan Orlando Hernández—a party member currently serving a 45-year prison sentence in the United States for drug trafficking.[12] Hernández was released from prison on 2 December 2025.[13]
On 2 December 2025, as preliminary results showed Nasry Asfura to be in a statistical tie with Salvador Nasralla, in which Asfura was leading by only 515 votes,[14] Trump alleged the election was fraudulent.[15] As a result of the tie, which emerged following a partial digital count, the National Electoral Council began a manual count that same day.[16] Later that afternoon, Salvador Nasralla had taken a slim lead, holding an edge of roughly 2,000 votes. Counting was also marred by the official website used by the National Electoral Council to display voting tallies crashing due to “technical problems” beginning the previous day.[17]
Observers
More than 4,000 local and international election observers monitored the election.[18]
