Presidential elections in Honduras, the non-recognition of the outcome by the incumbent administration and the attacks on opposition members of the National Assembly
Resolution on a topical subject.
In this non-legislative resolution, Parliament addresses the presidential elections held in Honduras on 30 November 2025, the National Electoral Council's proclamation of Nasry Asfura as president-elect, and the incumbent administration's initial non-recognition of the outcome. The text stresses that the will of the Honduran people must be respected, recognises Asfura as president-elect, and calls on the incumbent administration to respect the electoral results and to end violence and intimidation against opposition members and electoral officials. It considers the outgoing president's decree ordering a recount to be unconstitutional, condemns the explosive attack on opposition Deputy Gladys López and calls for a transparent and independent investigation, and urges all parties to cooperate in a peaceful transfer of power. The resolution instructs its President to forward the text to the Council, the Commission, the VP/HR, the Member States and the authorities of Honduras.
