"President-elect of Honduras, Nasry 'Tito' Asfura, issued a Christmas address to the nation on Wednesday in Tegucigalpa, calling for national unity and peace, caused by weeks of election standoff. "It is a time for reconciliation, unity and peace. We must recognise ourselves for what we are: a single Honduran family," he said.  Earlier on the same day, Honduras' National Electoral Council officially proclaimed 67-year-old Asfura, the candidate of the National Party (PNH), as the winner of the presidential election held on November 30. Asfura, whose candidacy was earlier endorsed by the US President Donald Trump, pledged to 'work tirelessly for Honduras' as the country’s next president. "I will not fail you," he stated. According to the final count released by the National Electoral Council, Nasry Asfura secured 40.26 per cent of the valid vote, edging out Liberal Party contender Salvador Nasralla, who garnered 39.54 per cent. The official proclamation follows weeks of uncertainty and a protracted, technically complex tabulation process. The result seals the return of the National Party to executive power for the 2026–2030 term."
