Rixi Moncada would be appointed as Honduras' new Minister of the Interior, according to a report by DatosAme24 citing RCV, posted in the past 30 minutes between 4:16 p.m. and 4:47 p.m. UTC on December 17, 2025, amid unresolved post-election disputes. The report states that if the National Electoral Council issues no official declaration of the elections, power would pass to the Council of Ministers, coordinated by the Interior Ministry, as shared in the X post by @DatosAme24. This potential appointment follows President Xiomara Castro's order earlier on December 17 to end police repression of post-election protesters and dismiss involved officers, according to a prior report citing @FEscrutinio. The military has pledged to respect constitutional processes if the CNE misses its December 30 or 31 declaration deadline, per statements from Joint Chiefs head Roosevelt Hernández and others.
