Honduras's 41 Liberal Congress members have fractured over electricity-sector changes, with 32 negotiating a counteroffer to the government proposal while nine aligned with Salvador Nasralla maintain their opposition, fracturing what had been unified party resistance.

Lawmakers are moving closer to agreement on reforms to Honduras's General Law of the Electrical Industry, with the Liberal Party and the legislative committee narrowing differences over how to attract private investment while keeping state assets under the control of the state-owned utility ENEE.

The Evangelical Fellowship of Honduras called for broader, technically-grounded public debate on proposed electrical-sector reforms, emphasizing that any modernization must preserve ENEE's state ownership and protect Honduran households and businesses from service disruptions and high costs.
