Honduran Armed Forces Pledge to Uphold CNE Results and Protect Electoral Materials
Honduran Armed Forces Reaffirm Support for CNE Declaration and Safeguarding of Electoral Materials
Honduras’ Armed Forces publicly reiterated their commitment to protecting electoral materials and supporting the official declaration issued by the National Electoral Council (CNE), amid heightened political tension following the general elections.
Military leadership said the institution will continue to focus on its constitutional responsibilities. In addition, officials emphasized that operations remain guided by the legal framework and coordinated with the relevant electoral authorities in charge of custody protocols.
Why it matters: The integrity and protection of electoral materials are central to sustaining public trust and ensuring institutional continuity during the post-election period.
According to statements released by military authorities, the Armed Forces’ role is limited to security and logistical support. Meanwhile, electoral determinations and formal decisions remain the exclusive responsibility of civilian institutions designated by law.
The reaffirmation comes as political debate continues around the electoral process. However, military officials stressed they have not received formal instructions outside established procedures and emphasized their nonpartisan posture.
