ROUGH CUT - NO REPORER NARRATION Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, a center-right U.S. ally, cited multiple exit polls on Sunday (November 26) to declare himself victorious in a bid for a second term in the Central American nation, despite the opposition saying it was winning. A poll released by network Televicentro, generally considered a reliable indicator of results, gave President Juan Orlando Hernandez 43.93 percent of the vote, with Salvador Nasralla, who leads a broad left-right coalition called the Opposition Alliance Against the Dictatorship, at 34.70 percent. Blue-clad Hernandez supporters danced and blew horns, while his wife, Ana Garcia de Hernandez, led a prayer at a Tegucigalpa hotel. The election tribunal was not due to release even partial official results until later in the evening.
