Commissions from Honduras' National Party and Liberal Party were called to an emergency meeting between 6:47 p.m. and 7:46 p.m. UTC on December 17, 2025, to define agreements overcoming the electoral crisis and preventing the Libre party from perpetuating itself in power, according to an X post by CholusatSur36. This development occurs amid ongoing post-election disputes where Libre contests results due to delays by the National Electoral Council (CNE) in declaring a winner, as reported in prior updates from sources including RCVHonduras and DatosAme24. A tense standoff earlier at the Electoral Logistics Center (CLE) entrance involved Libre ordering verification boards to withdraw while Armed Forces blocked access, per RCVHonduras. President Xiomara Castro ordered an end to police repression of protesters and dismissals of involved officers earlier on December 17, according to @FEscrutinio. The military pledged to respect constitutional processes if the CNE misses its December 30 or 31 declaration deadline, as stated by Joint Chiefs head Roosevelt Hernández. Reports also indicated potential appointment of Rixi Moncada as Interior Minister to coordinate a Council of Ministers if no CNE declaration occurs, cited by DatosAme24 from RCV.
