Tegucigalpa, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) — Honduras' National Electoral Council said Monday that the presidential vote remains virtually tied, following preliminary vote counts conducted peacefully a day after the country's general elections.
According to the latest data from the preliminary election results system, after 57.03 percent of the votes have been counted, National Party candidate Nasri Asfoura has 749,022 votes (39.91 percent).
His main rival, Salvador Nasralla of the Liberal Party of Honduras, follows him with a narrow lead of 515 votes, with 748,507 votes (39.89%).
National Electoral Council President Ana Paola Hall described the situation as a "tie" and called on citizens to remain patient while the voting results protocols are processed.
More than six million Hondurans registered to vote in the elections to choose a new president, 298 mayors, 128 members of the National Congress, and other officials.
Honduras holds elections without a runoff, meaning the candidate with the most votes wins the presidency.
