Dec. 2 (UPI) -- Two days after the Nov. 30 general election, Honduras still has no president-elect.
The National Electoral Council said that with 57.03% of tally sheets processed, the two leading candidates -- Nasry "Tito" Asfura and Salvador Nasralla -- are separated by only 515 votes, creating what amounts to a virtual tie. The razor-thin margin has pushed the country into unprecedented electoral uncertainty.
The Preliminary Electoral Results Transmission system went offline Monday afternoon, leaving the official results platform frozen at the most sensitive stage of the vote count, the local outlet TuNota reported.
The Electoral Council announced the shutdown of the preliminary results transmission system, moving the process into a new phase. The transmitted results will no longer be changed or updated, and the figures appearing on screen will remain frozen as a public reference.
