Advisories

Mass protests are expected to continue across Honduras until elections counts are in and immediately following the results.

Advisories / By / December 23, 2025

Expect large scale protests to continue in Honduras over the coming weeks due to election irregularities. The results of November 30’s elections have not been released amid a neck-and-neck race between the two leading candidates, which have led to allegations of election fraud. Protests have become commonplace, with many also aimed at rejecting comments made by U.S. President Trump who backs the current leading candidate. Protests following the results are likely due to the scale of controversy surrounding the count.
