STORY: Honduran leftist presidential candidate Rixi Moncada on Sunday (December 7) rejected the country's November 30 national elections, demanding they be annulled.

She accused the United States of interference and said her party was calling on its supporters to take part in marches, strikes, and sit-ins to protest what she has called election fraud.

Voting on November 30 was calm and peaceful, according to independent electoral observers. But the subsequent reporting of the results has been chaotic, marred by starts and stops that have intensified frustrations over the tight race.

In the latest results released last Friday (December 5), Nasry Asfura of the National Party led with 40.19%, less than 20,000 votes ahead of centrist rival Salvador Nasralla of the Liberal Party, who stood at 39.49% with 88% of ballots tallied. Rixi Moncada of the ruling leftist Libre Party trailed far behind with 19.30%. Some 14% of ballots showed inconsistencies, officials said, and would be reviewed. There have been no updates to these results over the weekend, testing residents' patience as the presidency hangs in the balance.
