Honduras prepares for general elections amid fragile electoral system
June 27 (UPI) -- Honduras is preparing for general elections on Nov. 30, 2025, amid a fragile democracy and ongoing internal conflict. Corruption, violence and impunity have eroded the country's institutions and deepened public distrust in the electoral process. The National Electoral Council, or CNE, is facing a crisis after chaotic primary elections in March involving the nation's three major political parties. The vote was marred by severe logistical failures. In many polling stations, ballot boxes and voting materials arrived up to 12 hours late, and officials reported major problems with transporting supplies. CNE President Cossete López testified before Congress that she could not "guarantee" a clean general election, prompting concerns about a possible postponement. Although other CNE members later confirmed the vote would proceed as scheduled, internal divisions remain. The council's three commissioners -- each affiliated with a different political party -- have publicly blamed one another for the breakdown in March. The Center for the Study of Democracy, or CESPAD, has been strongly critical of the electoral process, citing weak institutions, low public confidence, and a lack of clear action to address failures from the March primaries. The group also pointed to legal loopholes that allow arbitrary decisions, ongoing political violence and clientelism, and a history of result manipulation. "The country is at a critical juncture. Current conditions raise fears that the general elections will unfold amid distrust, institutional improvisation and potential political destabilization," CESPAD said. CESPAD said the electoral budget was approved late, jeopardizing key systems such as the Election Results Transmission System, or TREP, and external audits. It also warned that the CNE continues to struggle with internal partisan divisions, technical staff resignations and low public credibility. A survey by the Reflection, Research and Communication Team, or ERIC-SJ, found that 62.5% of respondents said the March primaries weakened democracy, while 76.8% said they do not trust the CNE. Civil society groups and election experts are urging immediate reforms to restore the credibility of the CNE and ensure a reliable election process in November. They cite poor coordination, undertrained personnel and political interference in technical decisions within the electoral authority. They are also calling for extensive national and international monitoring to promote transparency and reduce the risk of fraud. The ERIC-SJ survey also revealed a shift in the political landscape. The opposition Liberal Party now leads, with 39% of respondents saying they expect it to win, compared to 25.6% for Libre, the ruling party, and 23.2% for the National Party. The change is attributed to growing dissatisfaction with President Xiomara Castro's administration, which has weakened the candidacy of her ally, Rixi Moncada. At the same time, Liberal candidate Salvador Nasralla -- a well-known television host running on an anti-corruption platform -- has gained momentum. Nasralla is attracting protest votes from Hondurans frustrated with the ruling party, while the National Party is working to rebuild support with candidate Nasry Asfura -- despite lasting fallout from corruption scandals involving former President Juan Orlando Hernández, who is serving a 45-year prison sentence in the United States for drug trafficking. Beyond individual candidates, political skepticism remains deep. Only 1 in 10 Hondurans believes elections are fair, and just 10% trust the National Congress or political parties. Still, voter turnout is expected to remain high. Eight in 10 respondents said they plan to vote in November. President Castro enters the election season with falling approval ratings. Her administration earned an average score of 4.13 out of 10 -- the lowest since she took office in 2022. Nearly 40% of Hondurans say the country is worse off than before her presidency. Hondurans identify the government's main failures as the ongoing economic crisis (28.8%), unemployment (17.9%), broken promises (16.1%) and insecurity (13.2%). Although President Castro points to achievements like a historic drop in homicides, her security strategy -- based on emergency measures modeled after El Salvador's approach -- has drawn criticism from international human rights groups. The international community, including the Organization of American States, the European Union and the United Nations, along with local organizations such as CESPAD and ERIC-SJ, have issued urgent calls for electoral reforms and technical protocols as a prerequisite for credible elections. The key question now is not only whether the vote will happen, but under what conditions. Despite the tensions, there is broad consensus that the elections must be held on schedule. Canceling or postponing the vote is widely viewed as a step that could spark a deeper institutional crisis. Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
