TEGUCIGALPA, Dec 7 (Reuters) - In Honduras, impatience is growing as Honduran electoral officials have failed to provide an update on the results of the November 30 national elections for nearly 48 hours, with the presidential race still far too close to call.

In the latest results released on Friday afternoon, Nasry Asfura of the National Party led with 40.19%, less than 20,000 votes ahead of centrist rival Salvador Nasralla of the Liberal Party, who stood at 39.49%, with 88% of ballots tallied. Rixi Moncada of the ruling leftist LIBRE Party trailed far behind with 19.30%. Some 14% of ballots showed inconsistencies, officials said, and would be reviewed.
