The latest results in Honduras' presidential election showed on Thursday that conservative candidate Nasry Asfura, backed by U.S. President Donald Trump, inched ahead of his centrist opponent, Salvador Nasralla, with 84.55% of the ballots counted.

The National Party's Asfura held 40.06%, about 8,800 votes ahead of the Liberal Party's Nasralla, who had 39.73%. Rixi Moncada of the ruling leftist LIBRE Party remained well behind in third place in the election, which was held on Sunday.

According to the country's electoral authority, about 12% of the ballots counted have inconsistencies and will be reviewed.

12% "inconsistencies" seems very high.
