Tegucigalpa, Honduras
The presidential candidate, Nasry Tito Asfura, said on Sunday night that we must wait for the official results of the primary elections to be presented by the National Electoral Council (CNE).
“I am calm, waiting for the results, that the CNE begins to give the trends, we have our own polls and the ballot box. We must be prudent to digitize the votes. We want to have enough calm and patience,” he said to journalists about the first results at the ballot box that give him an advantage over Maurici Oliva.
“No one is celebrating, here is respect for all, respect for great nationalism, very grateful for the whole structure, this great effort that has been made for so long, the work of a great team, we are proud get ahead and be able to work, ”he said.
The current mayor of the Honduran capital said that “there is no celebration, we are all nationalist brothers and there is nothing to celebrate here, we have not won anything, we need to work. The challenges are for November 28.”
For Asfura “we must continue with our work, what we do every day.” I repeat that speaking or saying something is not right, we have to wait for official data.
Transparent elections?
