Four days after Honduras' presidential election, both sides are claiming victory — prompting protests in the country and international concern.
Incumbent President Juan Orlando Hernández showed a slight lead Thursday with over 90 percent of the votes counted, according to an Al Jazeera report.
Opposition candidate and TV star Salvador Nasralla prompted thousands of his supporters to take to the streets by saying, "We've already won." It's unclear who the electoral tribunal will actually declare as the winner.
Nasralla says he won't accept any outcome where he isn't declared the winner. Refusing to accept a loss may sound like sour grapes, but his supporters say they have reason to be distrustful of the results.
