TEGUCIGALPA, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Salvador Nasralla, of the centrist Liberal Party, took a razor-thin lead in Honduras' presidential election over Nasry Asfura, the conservative candidate backed by U.S. President Donald Trump, on Tuesday in a vote count plagued by delays and system failures.
The latest results released by the electoral authority around 2:30 p.m. local time showed Nasralla on 39.96% and Asfura of the National Party on 39.80%, with just over 60% of votes counted. Rixi Moncada, of the ruling leftist LIBRE Party, was well behind in third place with 19.19%. Asfura had previously been leading by around 500 votes when results were last released on Monday.
