Congress panel refuses to validate result

President Castro denounces 'electoral coup'

Results not updated for 24 hours

Latest tally shows Asfura leading Nasralla

TEGUCIGALPA, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Officials of a Honduras Congress panel threatened on Wednesday not to validate the result of a Nov. 30 presidential election, citing an “electoral coup” and “interference” by U.S. President Donald Trump, as counting stretched into an 11th day.

While the ruling LIBRE leftist party has no chance of winning the election, it is throwing its support behind Salvador Nasralla, of the center-right Liberal party, who has also alleged fraud and said he has won the election.
