Honduran centrist candidate calls foul on vote data after Trump-backed Asfura edges ahead
TEGUCIGALPA, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Honduran centrist candidate Salvador Nasralla alleged fraud in the country's highly contested presidential vote on Thursday after his Trump-backed rival Nasry Asfura pulled narrowly past him overnight.
Nasralla, in a post on X, said the screen displaying the vote data went blank at 3:24 a.m. and alleged "an algorithm changed the data," giving the higher tally to Asfura after Nasralla had been leading the vote count since Tuesday. The results are being updated on the electoral body's website.
