Salvador Nasralla keeps the first position of the presidential elections in Honduras after the publication by the local Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) about its first preliminary results.
With the 57% of the counted votes, Salvador Nasralla, who is the candidate of the local Alianza de Oposición party against the local dictatorship, keeps the 45.17 % of the votes while the current president Juan Orlando Hernández of the Nacional party keeps the 40.21% and Luis Zelaya of the Liberal party keeps the 13.77% in the third position.
Apart from the votes for the presidency, there was also a voting process to elect 3 vice-presidents, 256 members of parliaments and 40 deputies.
The opposition candidate gave a highest surprise of that day.
The last hours
Juan Orlando Hernández and Luis Zelaya declared themselves as the winners of the elections on Sunday. Juan Orlando Hernández and Luis Zelaya stated, on two occasions, that they were the winners of the elections in which the international observers criticized the vote-handling process and the slowness of the local TSE in terms of delivering the first related data.
In spite of the growing left-wing vote trend in the Congress, the ruling National Party gained that tendency, according to the preliminary data.
In the midnight, there were many international observers who recommended the local TSE to give its results in favor of the Honduran democracy given the related tension due to the long wait and the respective proclamations that occurred after a quiet electoral campaign in which there were up to six million of Honduran citizens who voted for their vice-presidents, 128 deputies for the National Parliament and 20 ones for the Centroamericano (Central American, literally) one, including the 298 mayor’s offices, respectively.
