Honduras's Knife-Edge Presidential Election

On The LatinNews Podcast this week, we take a look at the recent presidential election in Honduras and explore why the incumbent party performed so poorly, the probable outcomes from this neck and neck contest between Salvador Nasralla and Nasry Asfura, the role of President Trump and the pardon of former president Juan Orlando Hernández.

Joining us is Lucas Perelló, Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Florida Atlantic University.

This episode was recorded before the final vote tally was completed but explores the topics of corruption, drug trafficking, migration, declining remittances and security issues that Honduras continues to face and that the new president will be obliged to address.
