Salvador Alejandro César Nasralla Salum[a] (born 30 January 1953) is a Honduran civil engineer, sports journalist, television presenter, businessman, and politician who served as the First Vice President of Honduras from 2022 until his resignation in 2024.

[3] He is the presenter of the TV programs 5 Deportivo and X-0 da Dinero, and has been called "El señor de la televisión".

He stood again in the 2017 general election for the political alliance Alianza de Oposición contra la Dictadura, comprising Liberty and Refoundation and the Innovation and Unity Party.

[10] In 1981, he started his career in television[citation needed] by hosting the program "5 Deportivo," which continues to be broadcast every Sunday on Channel 5 of Corporación Televicentro to this day.

[citation needed] With the living standards of many Hondurans deteriorating – perceived as resulting from traditional politicians' indifference or incompetence – Nasralla, Luis Redondo, and ohers formed the Anti-Corruption Party (PAC).

[17] These assertions gained further credibility a decade later when the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York provided a summary of evidence, just months before the trial of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was set to begin.

Nasralla disclosed that Redondo had blocked his accounts on social networks, highlighting ongoing discord within the party leadership.

[23][24] Nasralla denied these accusations in an interview, further criticizing the PAC bench by stating it was "no longer of any use to him" because it had "compromised the future of Honduras" by electing a Court allied with President Juan Orlando Hernández.

Several months later, Ana Joselina and Kritza Pérez resigned from PAC, which Nasralla described as a "self-cleansing" of the political institution.

[25] By the end of 2016, another deputy, Jaime Villegas, resigned following Nasralla's expressions of regret for having brought "public figures to PAC, like football players.

[31] On November 2, 2016, Redondo expelled Virgilio Padilla, an ally of Nasralla, from the National Council—the highest governing body of PAC.

In these elections, all three factions within the party rallied behind a consensus candidate, PAC deputy Marlene Alvarenga, who had previously been in bitter conflict with Salvador Nasralla.

[35] Documents declassified in May 2023 by the New York Attorney General's Office concerning the trial of Juan Orlando Hernández revealed details of his actions during the 2013 presidential campaign.

CW-1 regularly met with Juan Orlando to discuss strategies, which included the payment of bribes in certain departments of Honduras where Hernández was trailing in the polls.

[18] On May 20, 2017, amid the internal election controversy within the Anti-Corruption Party (PAC), Salvador Nasralla was introduced at an assembly as the official presidential candidate for the Opposition Alliance Against Dictatorship.

Despite allegations of widespread irregularities, the United States recognised the reelection of President Juan Orlando Hernández (often abbreviated as JOH).

[37] The protests continued into February 2018, resulting in dozens of deaths and substantial economic losses due to damage to businesses.

These documents were part of the trial against the former President Juan Orlando Hernández (often abbreviated as JOH), who was accused of using drug trafficking proceeds to secure his re-election.

The allegations include shutting down the electoral computer system with the assistance of an engineer to alter the results in favor of Hernández.

Despite official results showing Hernández as the winner, the declassified documents and allegations suggest that Salvador Nasralla, the opposition candidate, actually won a majority of the vote, holding 57% according to the New York prosecutors' assessment.

These findings support Nasralla's own claims of fraud both before and after the 2017 elections, suggesting that he was the legitimate winner and should have been the president-elect of Honduras for the term beginning in 2017.

[40] Following its formation, the PSH entered into an alliance with the Innovation and Unity Party (PINU) to create the National Opposition Union (Unión Nacional Opositora).

[44][45] One condition of Nasralla ending his presidential campaign and endorsing Castro’s was that if they gained a majority in Congress, the congressional president would be a member of the Savior Party.

When the newly elected congress voted for a congressional president on 21 January 2022, 18 deputies from Castro’s party refused to honour the agreement.
