Honduran opposition leader Salvador Nasralla says he’s a moderate, pro-U.S. candidate who Washington is wrong to fear, as he demands a full recount of ballots in a disputed election that has plunged the central American nation into its worst crisis in nearly a decade.

Nasralla says he is a moderate who the U.S. government has mistakenly branded a radical. This has led them to throw their weight behind his opponent, President Juan Orlando Hernandez, he said.
