The votes are still being counted in Honduras after Sunday's presidential election, with partial results showing the conservative candidate Nasray Asfura with a narrow lead.

Asfura received a public endorsement from US President Donald Trump in the final days of the race. Trump said that Asfura is the only candidate his administration would be willing to work with, threatening to cut US aid if he lost. The ruling leftist party has accused Trump of interventionist meddling.

2. With 55% counted, it's basically neck and neck

Dec. 1 (UPI) -- Honduran presidential candidate Nasry "Tito" Asfura -- whom President Donald Trump urged voters to support -- is leading in preliminary results from Sunday's general elections with a slight edge over fellow right-wing candidate Salvador Nasralla.

However, with 55% of polling stations counted, the difference between the two candidates is minimal -- fewer than 3,000 votes -- and could shift at any moment.

According to the National Electoral Council, Asfura leads the race with 40.1% of the vote, while Nasralla has 39.2%, the newspaper El Heraldo reported.
