Nasry Juan Asfura Zablah, born June 8, 1958, in Tegucigalpa to a family of Palestinian Christian heritage, has served as President of Honduras since January 27, 2026.

He ran unsuccessfully for president in 2021 against Xiomara Castro, then won the National Party's nomination again for 2025 and was declared the winner of that November 2025 election with 40.3 percent of the vote against Liberal candidate Salvador Nasralla, a result contested by rivals amid vote-counting delays. His campaign drew endorsements from United States President Donald Trump and Argentine President Javier Milei, and he has campaigned on strengthening ties with the United States, Taiwan and Israel.
