Allegations of Fraud Hit LIBRE Amid Rixi Moncada’s Poll Collapse

The recent release of election polls has shown a significant decline for LIBRE candidate Rixi Moncada, who ranks a distant fifth in voting intentions, behind even undecided voters and those who say they will vote for “none.” This result has raised concerns about the possible impact on electoral transparency in the country.

Claims of political manipulation

Analysts and opposition party leaders have pointed to the existence of strategies by the LIBRE party and the government to ensure their continued hold on power in the face of their candidate’s decline in popularity. Among the allegations are selective salary increases and bonuses for senior military officials, which some political actors interpret as a way of influencing the armed forces in the electoral process.

Likewise, control of the National Electoral Council, alleged manipulation of voter rolls, and obstacles in the transmission of results are pointed to as elements that could compromise the credibility of the elections.

Community feedback and global oversight

The information released has led to increased social and media scrutiny. Social media users, citizen organizations, and international observers have emphasized the importance of supervision and monitoring to ensure that the will of the people is respected on November 30.

The pressure has also spread to international forums where specialists in governance and democracy have warned of the risks that large-scale electoral fraud would pose to institutional stability and public confidence in democratic processes.

Resulting political and institutional consequences

Rixi Moncada’s decline in the polls has caused a shift in the political balance, favoring the opposition. This scenario highlights the need to strengthen mechanisms for transparency and electoral control, as well as to guarantee the impartiality of the institutions responsible for administering the elections.

The LIBRE party thus faces a double challenge: maintaining internal cohesion in the face of declining public support and responding to allegations of electoral maneuvering, while society demands protection of political rights and the integrity of the vote.

The situation reflects a growing tension between political legitimacy and citizen oversight, with a central focus on how the decisions of state and party actors can influence public confidence and the perception of impartiality of democratic forces in Honduras.
