TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — President Juan Orlando Hernandez held on to a lead of more than 52,000 votes in Honduras’ hotly-disputed presidential race as the long-delayed count wrapped up Monday. Tribunal president David Matamoros said 100 per cent of the ballots had been tabulated but the court was not declaring a winner yet. Late Sunday the capital had another night of pot-banging protests over delays in the vote count, and the sound of bottle-rockets and chants echoed across the city. Nasralla had led in initial returns before a lengthy delay interrupted reports from electoral officials, feeding opposition complaints of irregularities. Nasralla said over the weekend that he had asked for the presidential vote to be repeated.
