Honduras’ pro-U.S. leader took the lead in the nation’s presidential election as opposition supporters took to the streets to allege fraud and bonds extended their sell-off amid the potential for unrest.
President Juan Orlando Hernandez now leads opposition candidate Salvador Nasralla by 42.21 percent to 42.11 percent, with 83 percent of ballots counted. When the first votes were counted in the early hours of Monday, Nasralla was five percentage points ahead.
