So, where is my right as a voter?"

18. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) HONDURAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, NASRY ASFURA, SAYING:

"Article 279 clearly states that the first break is three hours and should have been at 9:00 p.m. In 6,600 records, we have a percentage above, according to the CNE data. In our data, the difference is even greater. So we demand that Ana Paola Hall come out and comply. I don't know what she is waiting for. Come out and do your duty. Let's not keep the country waiting, on tenterhooks, in darkness. Please do it for the sake of democracy."

Conservative National Party candidate Nasry Asfura leads the Honduran presidential election with 34% of votes counted, according to the country’s electoral authority on Sunday. (6234-HONDURAS-ELECTION/RESULTS)
