Honduras is at a pivotal political juncture following the general elections held on November 30, 2025, and the inauguration of the new government on January 27, 2026. 

‍

The victory of Nasry "Tito" Asfura, of the National Party, marks the return of that political force to executive power after the administration of Xiomara Castro. The electoral process was accompanied by a prolonged vote count, allegations of irregularities, and public questioning that have generated debate about the legitimacy of the results and the country's institutional direction.
