No candidate has yet been named the winner of Honduras' presidential elections, one week after the polls, with vote counting halted several times due to glitches amid flipping leaders.

Honduras' ruling party, as well as contender Salvador Nasralla, have denounced an ongoing electoral coup in Honduras involving vote manipulation and brutal interference from US President Donald Trump, as the National Party's Nasry Asfura -the candidate endorsed by Washington-surged back ahead on Thursday with 84.55% of votes tallied.

Honduras' presidential race saw a lead change Tuesday as election officials resumed counting votes following accusations of US interference and the highly controversial pardon of a former Honduran president by Donald Trump.

The Trump administration on Friday recognized the results of Honduras’ disputed presidential election, despite problems found by poll observers and calls from the U.S. Congress for a new vote. In a statement, the U.S. State Department congratulated President Juan Orlando Hernandez on his re-election, but also urged the country’s electoral commission to examine all disputes to the result.
