As the date for the Honduran presidential elections moves closer, our team has been working diligently to monitor the situation and to ensure a transparent and fair process. This is a statement from staff member Andreas Daugaard, director of Investigations for ASJ-Honduras:

"[Last week] we released a new brief outlining recent and deeply concerning developments in Honduras ahead of the November 30 elections.

The situation is increasingly complex, with the rule of law being undermined almost daily — placing electoral integrity at serious risk.

What’s happening?
🔹 The Attorney General has threatened legal action against a member of the Electoral Council, alleging conspiracy to manipulate electoral results based on unverified private audio recordings.
🔹 Two rival groups are each claiming to represent Congress — one backed by the legislative majority, the other by the President of Congress — further eroding oversight and the rule of law.
🔹 The military has become increasingly politicised, extending its influence into electoral matters and targeting journalists as “hitmen of the truth.”

We call on the international community to remain vigilant and to closely monitor the evolving situation in Honduras."
