HONDURAS: Simmering tensions coming to the boil
Political tensions are rapidly escalating ahead of presidential and congressional elections in Honduras on 30 November. Opposition parties went as far as to accuse the ruling left-wing Partido Libertad y Refundación (Libre) this week of seeking to obstruct the electoral process and cling on to power illegally. This followed the decision by Libre’s president of the legislative assembly to install a permanent committee on 31 October stacked with legislators from the ruling party during the recess from 1 November until 26 January 2026 when the elected president and legislators are scheduled to be sworn in. Their suspicions might have some merit. The attorney general has chosen this moment to target key electoral figures whose replacements could potentially be made by this committee.
