PRESS RELEASE

Tegucigalpa, 20 December 2025 - The European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) reiterates its call for all actors to respect the Honduran people's vote on 30 November and stresses the importance of completing the ongoing electoral process.

Throughout the electoral period, the work of the electoral administration has been undermined by consecutive and intentional paralysis, which caused serious delays to electoral preparations.

Nevertheless, the EU EOM believes that the tabulation process has so far been conducted transparently, with all political parties having had access to all election result forms from the start.

As the special scrutiny is ongoing, it is crucial that it can proceed without interruptions and without intentional invalidation of election results to alter the outcome of the presidential elections. The EU EOM urges political actors to cooperate in the swift completion of the tabulation process and use the legal mechanisms and conditions set in the law to address their concerns.

The EU EOM calls the attention of state authorities that it is their responsibility to ensure that the National Electoral Council (CNE) councillors and electoral officials can carry out their duties in an environment free from intimidation.

The EU EOM urges all parties to refrain from obstructing the official declaration of election results by the CNE.
