STREET protests are continuing in the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa and other cities after the discredited Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TES) declared incumbent President Juan Orlando Hernandez the winner of the November 26 presidential election.

Progressive challenger Salvador Nasralla, who had a significant lead over his right-wing opponent with 60 per cent of the vote counted before the process ground to a halt, denounced Mr Hernandez as “an impostor.”

He accused the government of committing a major fraud and “whitewashing” a corrupt electoral process.
