2013 Honduras Election Results

The Honduras general election process that began on Sunday, November 24th is still underway, as the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE – Tribunal Supremo Electoral) continues to count votes in order to determine the 2013 Honduras election results.

That hasn’t stopped the proclamation of a winner, however.

Xiomara Castro Zelaya of the Libre Party had hoped to be elected President of Honduras.

Juan Orlando Hernández made an acceptance speech after it was determined he had received over 54% of the total votes, and the National Party has begun receiving congratulations from other countries.

Meanwhile, the Freedom and Refoundation Party (Libre – El Partido Libertad y Refundación), has announced it will not accept the results of the TSE, and believes that there are inconsistencies in at least 20 percent of the proceedings.

Additionally, Libre has called for a meeting of the party’s leadership at 11 am to discuss the issue and determine the action to be taken.
