While I was disappointed in the irregularities experienced in the initial vote count, it is also critical to understand that a thorough and transparent recount of close to 5,000 voting ballots occurred under the presence of OAS and EU electoral observation missions. In the days ahead, I encourage all parties to present concerns or challenges through the available legal channels with adherence to the rule of law. Strong democratic institutions that respect the will of citizens to express their views peacefully is vital for Honduras prosperity. I will always stand with the rights of people to freely elect their leaders, and the United States is committed to supporting the Honduran people in achieving a peaceful and secure outcome. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
