On November 26, elections were held in Honduras, even with the palpable rejection of civil society that is aware that re-election of President in Honduras is prohibited by the Constitution.
In 2009, the National Party of Honduras and its current candidate Juan Orlando Hernandez participated in a coup condemned by international organizations, including the United Nations and the Organization of American States.
In 2013, Juan Orlando Hernandez was elected president of Honduras in an election that was questioned by the Honduran population.
Salvador Nasralla, Alliance candidate, has won the most votes, outstripping Hernandez by some 100,000 votes, according to official partial data. Curiously, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) has not declared Nasralla the winner and, to the contrary, has extended the tally of the ballots until Thursday, November 30.
Juan Orlando Hernandez, in his eagerness to continue enjoying his lucrative sacking of the state of Honduras, through corruption and in violation of the Constitution, ran for re-election, thanks to the clear complicity of the Supreme Court of Justice, controlled by the National Party to which he belongs.
We, Hondurans living in Boston, Massachusetts, and other cities in the United States, express our profound condemnation of the fraudulent and de facto regime of Juan Orlando Hernandez, who has contributed to Honduras becoming the most violent country in the world, corruption, organized crime, death squads, repression, persecution of the media, drug trafficking, militarization and the mass exodus of Hondurans, men, women and children fleeing extreme poverty, violence and impunity.
We warn human rights organizations here in the United States to be alert, as election fraud is looming. Mr. Hernandez has declared himself winner before receiving the Supreme Electoral Tribunal's calculations, so it is clear his intention to win these elections through fraud.
Why do not they give the final results to the Honduran people? The population has no reason to believe the Honduran authorities since the government and its party have usurped the state's institutions for their own benefit.
This electoral process has taken place amid accusations and repressive acts against the opposition and very well-paid campaigns against the opposition and its candidate.
Hondurans long to live in prosperity and democracy, but oligarchic sectors of Juan Orlando Hernandez's circle keep Hondurans in poverty and backwardness.
