The Standing Committee of the National Assembly of Honduras issued a statement on the 10th strongly condemning interference in the country's recent general election and stated that it would not recognize the election results affected by “internal and external pressure.” The statement said that some acts seriously jeopardized the integrity, transparency and legality of the election process. Removing or weakening the mandatory use of biometrics systems not only changes election rules, but also provides space for manipulating votes and falsifying results, causing “the entire process to lose credibility.” The statement also criticized US President Trump's public statements before the election, arguing that these remarks put pressure on Honduran voters, constituted “inappropriate and unacceptable foreign interference,” and violated international law and relevant principles of regional organizations. The statement said that the statement “threatened and intimidated voters” and interfered with the free exercise of voters' right to vote. The statement stressed that “no form of external interference will be accepted,” and stated that the election results will not be approved until the dispute is resolved.
