Honduras’ electoral authority paused in the publication of preliminary results from Sunday’s presidential election, with a partial tally showing leftist opposition candidate Xiomara Castro on track for a landslide.
Castro had 54% support, compared with 34% for the ruling party’s Nasry Asfura, with 51% of ballots tallied, according to the electoral authority. The authority stopped updating the tally from its rapid vote count system at 6:55 a.m. local time.
