Members of Honduras' Special Verification and Recount Boards were ordered by the Libre party to withdraw from the entrance to INFOP, while Armed Forces prevented their access to the Electoral Logistics Center (CLE), creating a tense atmosphere, according to an X post by RCVHonduras during the period from 4:47 p.m. to 6:46 p.m. UTC on December 17, 2025. The incident at the CLE entrance follows ongoing post-election disputes, with Libre disputing results amid delays by the National Electoral Council (CNE) in declaring a winner, as previously reported by sources including DatosAme24 citing RCV. RCVHonduras linked to its website rcv.hn for further details on the standoff. This development occurs amid President Xiomara Castro's earlier order on December 17 to end police repression of protesters and dismiss involved officers, per @FEscrutinio, and military pledges to respect constitutional processes if the CNE misses its December 30 or 31 declaration deadline, as stated by Joint Chiefs head Roosevelt Hernández.
