Utmanare vägrar acceptera rösträkningen
Honduras sittande president leder i den pågående rösträkningen efter helgens val. Med närmare 83 procent av rösterna räknade har president Juan Orlando Hernández ett övertag med drygt 3 000 röster mot utmanaren Salvador Nasralla. Det rapporterar TT.
Rösträkningen har därmed svängt och utmanaren Nasralla ser inte längre ut att ta hem segern.
– Vi kommer inte att acceptera fusksystemet från valmyndigheten, säger Nasralla i ett uttalande och uppmanar också sina anhängare till protester, rapporterar AP.

Juan Orlando Hernández
Wikipedia (en)
Juan Orlando Hernández Alvarado, often written as JOH, (born October 28, 1968) is the fifty-fifth and current President of Honduras, assuming office January 27, 2014. He is a politician, member of the conservative National Party of Honduras, and former businessman who won the 2013 Honduran presidential election. He was the President of the National Congress of Honduras between January 2010 and June 2013 when he was given permission by the Congress to absent himself from all responsibilities in the Congress to dedicate himself to his presidential campaign. He has stated that he will seek re-election in 2017 in spite of the constitution only allowing a single-term as president. On December 15, 2016 the Tribunal Supremo Electoral decided, by two votes to one, to allow Hernández to stand in the pre-candidacy internal vote by the National Party of Honduras on March 12, 2017, in spite of arguments that such a decision was illegal. On March 12, 2017, Hernández won the National Party's primary vote to allow him to represent his party during the Honduran general election, 2017.
