Nasry Juan Asfura Zablah (born 8 June 1958), also known as Tito Asfura, is a Honduran politician. He served as a deputy of the National Congress of Honduras representing the National Party of Honduras for Francisco Morazán[1] and served as mayor of his nation's capital of Tegucigalpa from 2014–2022.[2][3] He was succeeded as mayor by Jorge Aldana.[4]
Nasry Asfura was included in the 2020 Sachamama list of the 100 most influential Latinos, endorsed by international organizations.[5]
Early life
Asfura was born to Palestinians who immigrated to Central America during the Arab-Israeli conflict in the 1940s. He studied civil engineering, though he did not complete his degree. He launched his career as a businessman in construction, before working in the public sector in 1990s.
Corruption allegations
Asfura was indicted by the Honduran justice in 2020 for embezzlement of public funds and money laundering, being accused of having embezzled for his own benefit more than 28 million lempiras. The judiciary seized nine real estate properties and three businesses belonging to him.[6] However, the Honduran court has ordered the dismissal of the charges of innocence.[7]
In early October 2021, Asfura was listed in the Pandora Papers.[8]

Asfura was chosen as the 2021 presidential candidate for the incumbent National Party.[9][10] Polls initially showed a tight race between Asfura and left-wing opponent Xiomara Castro, leader of LIBRE and the wife of former president Manuel Zelaya, before she surged ahead to win the election.[11][12]
