PRESS RELEASE

Tegucigalpa, 10 December 2025 – The European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) has been present in Honduras since 11 October, deploying 138 observers for election day. 

On 2 December, the Mission issued a preliminary statement on the pre-election period and election day, noting that, the electoral process was marked by severe institutional crises which contrasted with a well-organised and peaceful election day. Since then, EU observers have been present during the tabulation of election results being carried out by the National Electoral Council (CNE).

The EU EOM calls on all political actors to respect the Honduran people’s vote in the 30 November elections, and to uphold the legality of the ongoing process. The EU Mission urges political actors to raise any concerns they have about the election results using the traceability mechanisms made available to them by the CNE, as well as the established legal mechanisms.

The EU EOM exhorts members of the National Electoral Council and the Electoral Justice Tribunal — the two electoral authorities — to carry out their duties impartially and in an exemplary manner, complying with their institutions’ mandate and avoiding politically motivated obstructions or delays to the process. 

Hondurans are waiting patiently for the election results, and the EU EOM encourages all actors to follow their example and avoid any disruptions to the process.
