The presidential candidate for the conservative Liberal Party, Salvador Nasralla, denounced on Tuesday a 'monumental fraud' in Honduras and demanded a special recount 'act by act' due to a series of technical failures and alleged irregularities in the Preliminary Electoral Results Transmission System (TREP). Nasralla told journalists that there is a 'monumental fraud' in the information from the acts sent to the National Electoral Council (CNE) and that which has been disseminated so far. According to the body's website, 99.40% of the acts have been scrutinized, with Nasry Asfura of the National Party in the lead. 'The failure of the electoral results transmission system, administered by the Colombian company ASD, represents the greatest technical and legal risk observed in the current electoral process. We are not facing a minor error, but vulnerabilities that compromised the reliability of the digital count, generating inconsistencies that should have been impossible in a properly validated system,' he emphasized.

EFE/ Gustavo Amador The presidential candidate assured that, according to electoral body information, a technician from the company responsible for the preliminary transmission of votes would have had access to 'privileged credentials,' a fact he classified as an 'electoral crime,' and stated that the vulnerability 'originated from within' and not from an 'external attack.' He also attributed the appearance of 'tables with inflated votes, acts with numerical discrepancies and inconsistencies' to the deactivation of automatic validations and internal control failures, which he claimed 'should never have entered the system or passed automatic filters.' In his opinion, 'a system with active security locks would have rejected these inconsistencies and forced a manual review of the acts before transmitting them.' The latest count from the CNE, unchanged since midnight last night, confirms conservative Asfura, who has Donald Trump's support, in the lead with 1,298,835 votes (40.52%), ahead of Nasralla, who has 1,256,428 votes (39.48%), with 99.40% of the acts scrutinized. The presidential candidate for the ruling Liberty and Refoundation Party (Libre), Rixi Moncada, remains in third place with 618,448 votes (19.29%). Nasralla announced that this evening he will reveal the time when, according to him, variations in data transmission occurred due to the system's 'weakness' and insufficient traceability. 'The transmission of data with errors was allowed, the transmitted data does not coincide with what the entire Honduran people saw on Sunday, November 30,' he assured, accusing ASD company of not 'guaranteeing adequate controls over internal credentials.' He stated that the Liberal Party had no technical or operational control over the transmission system nor exclusive access to internal credentials, so it was 'exposed to a vulnerable system in which it had no technical or operational decision.' 'The Honduran people were deceived because they went out with faith and hope to exercise their suffrage and here an attempt is made to manipulate the results, this is not a theory, nor is it speculation,' emphasized Nasralla, and to restore confidence, he requested a physical and legal scrutiny of the acts, where 'there is no margin for computer manipulation or narrative interpretation,' and there is 'total transparency' in the process.
