Parliament's resolution on Honduras recognises Nasry Asfura as president-elect and calls on the incumbent administration to respect the electoral results and ensure a peaceful transfer of power. It condemns violence against opposition members, considers the recount decree unconstitutional, and endorses EU and OAS findings on the elections.

Key points

  1. Recognises Nasry Asfura as president-elect and stresses that the will of the Honduran people must be respected.
  2. Calls on the incumbent administration to respect the electoral results and end violence and intimidation, urging authorities to guarantee safety of democratic institutions including the CNE.
  3. Considers the decree ordering a recount unconstitutional and an attack on Honduran democracy.
  4. Calls on all parties to cooperate in ensuring a peaceful transfer of power, avoiding inflammatory rhetoric and political violence.
  5. Condemns violence against Deputy Gladys López and calls for a transparent investigation; urges Congress president Luis Redondo not to prevent the newly elected Congress from assuming its mandate.
  6. Commends the role of the EU and OAS, endorses their findings that election day was well organised and peaceful, and urges full implementation of EU Election Observation Mission recommendations.
  7. Urges current Honduran authorities to guarantee an orderly and peaceful transfer of power, respecting the results proclaimed by the CNE.
  8. Deplores that the EU ambassador to Honduras has not been invited to present credentials for over a year and hopes this will happen under the incoming administration.
