With two weeks to go before the handover of power in Honduras, following a disputed and close election, Nasry Asfura continued to pick his cabinet. This was before the president-elect departed for his first official trip to the US and Israel. One name being touted for the foreign ministry is Mireya Agüero de Corrales who previously held the position from 2013-2014. According to officials most of the cabinet will be new faces and Asfura has already decided on its makeup. Meanwhile, Honduras’s Congress is attempting to convene a hearing to determine whether to accept the election result or demand a total recount.
