Supporters of Honduras’ opposition leader Salvador Nasralla staged nationwide protests on Wednesday, November 28, in a display of frustration after President Juan Orlando Hernández called an early election win.

This video shared by a Nasralla supporter shows crowds of people gathered in Plaza Central León Alvarado next to the Comayagua Cathedral in the city of Comayagua, about 50 miles northwest of the capital Tegucigalpa. They were seen waving red “Libre” flags representing Honduras’ Liberal Party, a political party that united with Nasralla’s PAC (Partido Anticorrupción) to form the Opposition Alliance ahead of the national elections on November 26 this year. The demonstration marked the latest in a series of nationwide protests by opposition groups after Hernández declared his re-election on Sunday, Televisa News reported.

Final election results were due to be confirmed on Thursday, November 30, but Nasralla had already criticised the national electoral authority for irregularities in the electoral data, Honduran news site La Prensa reported.

Meanwhile Honduran news site La Tribuna suggested the president had marginally edged ahead in the electoral count on November 29. He had been criticised for running for a second term; the Honduran constitution previously outlawed president’s re-election until a Supreme Court ruling overturned the ban in 2015, the BBC reported.
