Conservative National Party candidate Nasry Asfura has won Honduras' presidential election, the Central American nation's electoral body announced Wednesday.
The National Electoral Council (CNE) said that Asfura, backed by US President Donald Trump, obtained 40.3% of the vote.
He surpassed the candidate of the center-right Liberal Party, Salvador Nasralla, who received 39.5%.
Days before last month's general election, Trump had expressed support for Asfura and promised assistance to the country if he won.
