The conservative Liberal Party’s presidential candidate, Salvador Nasralla, This Tuesday he denounced a “monumental fraud” in Honduras and called for a special “minute by minute” review due to a series of technical failures and alleged irregularities in the Preliminary Transmission of Election Results (TREP) system.
Nasralla told reporters that the information in the minutes sent to the National Electoral Council (CNE) and what has been disclosed so far is “a monumental fraud,” according to that organization’s website 99.40 were counted
“The failure of the system for transmitting the election results, managed by the Colombian company ASD, represents the greatest technical and legal risk observed in the current electoral process. We are not dealing with a minor error, but with vulnerabilities that affected the reliability of the digital counting and led to inconsistencies that would have been impossible in a correctly validated system,” he stressed.
The presidential candidate assured that, according to the electoral body, a technician from the company was in charge of the preliminary transmission of the votes would have had access to “privileged access data”.a fact he described as an “election crime” and explained that the vulnerability “arisen from within” but was not due to an “attack from without.”
He also attributed the appearance of “tables with inflated vote counts, logs with numerical imbalances and inconsistencies” to the disabling of automatic validations and internal control failures, which, as he explained, “They should never have entered the system or passed through automatic filters.”
In his opinion, a system with “active security locks would have rejected these inconsistencies and forced manual review of logs before transmission.”
The latest CNE count, unchanged since midnight, confirms that conservative Nasry Asfura, backed by Donald Trump, is in the lead with 1,298,835 votes (40.52%), ahead of Nasralla, who received a total of 1,256,428 votes (39.48%), with 99.40% of the minutes counted.
The ruling Liberad y Refoundación (Libre) party’s presidential candidate, Rixi Moncada, remains in third place with 618,448 votes (19.29%).
Nasralla said he would announce this evening the time at which he said discrepancies in data transmission were recorded due to the “weak” system and insufficient traceability.
“The transmission of erroneous data was allowed, the transmission does not correspond to what the entire Honduran people saw on Sunday, November 30,” he said, accusing the ASD company of “failing to ensure adequate control of internal credentials.”
He stated that the Liberal Party had no technical or operational control to the transmission system or exclusive access to internal credentials, leaving it “exposed to a vulnerable system in which it had no technical or operational decision.”
“The Honduran people were ridiculed for going to the polls with faith and hope, and here they intend to manipulate the results. This is neither a theory nor a speculation,” Nasralla stressed, stressing that to restore trust he had called for a physical and legal audit of the protocol in which there was “no room for computer manipulation or narrative interpretation” and there was “total transparency” in the process.
