On November 30, 2025, Hondurans cast ballots in a high-stakes presidential election that could unseat the leftist administration of President Xiomara Castro.
As of December 2, 2025, partial results show a conservative candidate edging ahead of the left-leaning incumbent's camp, marking a potential political shift. With key precincts in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula reporting delays, tensions are rising among supporters on both sides.
Journalists in the capital note growing calls for transparency and speed. Protests remain peaceful but underscore widespread impatience as rural and urban votes arrive at uneven speeds.
Social media platforms have surged with debates, with hashtags like #HondurasVotes drawing attention from young voters demanding swift and accurate counts.
Analysts say a win for the conservative challenger could steer Honduras toward pro-business reforms and tighter ties with North American markets, while a leftist victory would likely extend the administration's social welfare agenda.
Official results are expected later this week. Both camps are preparing for possible recounts or legal appeals, highlighting deep political divisions that will shape Honduras's next chapter.
