After Months of Recounts and Disturbances, Trump-Backed Nasry Asfura Takes Office in Honduras (VIDEOS)
Honduras has a new, conservative president!
In Fact, the Central American country has had a newly elected president for months, while the leftwing forces that lost the election tried to derail the certification process, even resorting to violence, as we reported in SHOCK VIDEO: Leftist Thug Throws Explosive Device, Strikes Honduras Congresswoman Smack in the Head – Conservative Politician Suffers Serious Injuries.
But when the push came to shove, the armed forces made sure the winner was sworn in, as we predicted in As the Leftist Honduras Government Tries To Derail the Presidential Election, Top General Guarantees He Will Support and Recognize the Voting Results.
So, today (27), conservative politician and businessman Nasry Asfura, the candidate supported by the Donald J. Trump administration, has been sworn in as president of Honduras.

Reuters reported:
“Asfura, 67, will serve a four-year term until January 2030. He has pledged to fight poverty, corruption and crime, and to revive the economy in one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere.
He also pledged to restore diplomatic relations with Taiwan, which were severed by outgoing President Xiomara Castro in 2023. Such a move would be a major diplomatic setback for China in Central America.”

“A former mayor of Tegucigalpa from 2014 to 2022, Asfura [has been] inaugurated after months of electoral chaos in Honduras, fueled by a last-minute endorsement from U.S. President Donald Trump, a deeply troubled vote-counting process and a razor-thin victory of 26,000 votes over centrist candidate Salvador Nasralla.
[…] Still, Asfura enters office facing a delicate balancing act. While his party holds a simple majority, he will need the support of rival parties – including those that alleged voter fraud – in order to ratify international treaties or amend the constitution.”
