TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Trump-backed candidate Nasry Asfura won Honduras’ presidential election, electoral authorities said Wednesday afternoon, ending a weeks-long count that has whittled away at the credibility of the Central American nation’s fragile electoral system.

The election is continuing Latin America’s swing to the right, coming just a week after Chile chose the far-right politician José Antonio Kast as its next president.

Asfura, of the conservative National Party, received 40.27% of the vote in the Nov. 30 vote, edging out four-time candidate Salvador Nasralla of the conservative Liberal Party, who finished with 39.53% of the vote.

Nawrocki’s narrow win in June came as a surprise, as his opponent, the liberal mayor of Warsaw Rafal Trzaskowski, was largely regarded as a shoo-in. However, Trzaskowski’s poor campaign and apparent detachment from vast segments of Polish society led to his failure.

As of 6:00 p.m., some 33.8 million voters had cast a ballot, reaching a record-breaking 76.1% of South Korea’s 44.4 million eligible voters, according to the National Election Commission. The figure was the highest during the same period since South Korea began holding direct elections in 1987.

Interest in the race has remained sky-high since a snap election was called after Yoon’s removal from office in April. Most polls have shown liberal Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung holding a commanding lead over the conservative People Power Party’s Kim Moon-soo, with a Gallup Korea survey last week giving Lee an edge of 49% to 35%.

The elections Sunday came as multiple opposition groups called for Venezuelans to boycott the vote in protest to last July’s presidential election in which Maduro was declared the winner in a disputed contest over Edmundo Gonzalez, who is recognized by the United States and several other nations as the lawful winner and Venezuelan president.

Maduro’s United Socialist Party of Venezuela , or PSUV, took 23 of the 24 state gubernatorial races and an absolute majority of 285 seats in Parliament.

The opposition candidates won the governorship of one state, Cojedes, which is down from the four states in 2021 but won three national assembly seats under the UNT party.

George Simion, the leader of the far-right AUR party, won a dramatic first-round victory earlier this month, riding a wave of anger from Romanians who had seen the presidential race annulled late last year because of claims of Russian interference.

But it was the softly spoken Nicusor Dan who swept to victory with 53.6% of the vote, even though Simion was more successful in the diaspora.

“We need to build Romania together irrespective of who you voted for,” said Dan, once his victory was secure.

Romania has set a date to rerun its presidential election after concerns of Russia’s “aggressive hybrid action” first time round, but there’s still a risk the result may be similar at the second attempt and see ultranationalist Călin Georgescu triumph.

The new vote will take place on May 4, with a runoff planned two weeks later, on May 18.

The first round of Romania’s election on Nov. 24 last year triggered international shockwaves thanks to the victory of Georgescu, who was propelled from obscurity by a wildly successful TikTok campaign. The contest was annulled before the second round could take place.
