European observers
criticize silence on
Honduras election
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras
(AP) — A European Union
electoral observation mission
criticized Honduras’ electoral
court Tuesday for its lack of
communication about the results
from the weekend presidential
election.
The team’s preliminary report
said that voting Sunday was
generally peaceful and that results
were being processed in front of
party representatives. But it also
noted that while the electoral
court made five announcements of
preliminary results following the
2013 election, it had made just one
this time.
The mission said citizens
have a right to more frequent
communication.
“It is urgent that the results be
disclosed,” said Marisa Matias,
head of the EU mission. “The
communication from authorities
with their people must be more
fluid.”
By late afternoon, preliminary
results based on a tally of about
63 percent of the ballots kept
challenger Salvador Nasralla in the
lead, about four points ahead of
President Juan Orlando Hernandez.
Both have declared themselves
the winner.
David Matamoros, head of the
electoral court, said Tuesday that
there were still 2.4 million ballots
to process. He blamed the delay
on the materials used in the vote,
which are being transported by
military trucks from 400 remote
areas across the country.

Spring wedding at
Windsor for Prince
Harry and Markle
LONDON (AP) — It will be
a spring wedding on the glorious
grounds of Windsor Castle for
love-struck Prince Harry and
Meghan Markle.
Royal officials — thrilled with
the international response to news
of the couple’s engagement, and
the positive reaction to their first
ever TV appearance — revealed a
few key details Tuesday but kept
mum on others, such as who will
be Harry’s best man?
The wedding will be in May,
but the date has not been chosen,
Harry’s communications secretary,
Jason Knauf, told a packed briefing
at Buckingham Palace.
Knauf said Harry’s
grandmother, Queen Elizabeth
II, had given permission for the
couple to wed at St. George’s
Chapel, the historic church on
the Windsor Castle grounds that
has long been a touchstone for
royal rites of passage. He said the
91-year-old monarch will attend.
