New official social media account of the National Congress of Honduras:
Members of Government - Nasry "Tito" Asfura 2026-2030

- Second Vice President, plastic surgeon and health professional.
- Third Vice President, businesswoman and politician originally from the department of Choluteca.
Presidential Designees or Vice President
The role of the Presidential Designees is primarily regulated by Article 242 of the Honduran Constitution, which establishes that they are elected jointly with the president as part of the same ticket.
Their essential function is to replace the president in case of temporary or permanent absence. If the absence is temporary, the president may delegate functions to one of the designees, but if the absence is permanent, the National Congress is responsible for electing one of the three to complete the presidential term.
In the extreme case of the absence of both the president and all three designees, the Executive branch would be assumed provisionally by the president of the National Congress or, failing that, by the president of the Supreme Court of Justice.
Outside of these scenarios, the Constitution does not assign any specific administrative functions to the Presidential Designees; that is, they do not head ministries nor do they have automatic executive powers. Their operational role depends exclusively on the responsibilities that the sitting president decides to delegate to them.
The legal framework also establishes that presidential appointees cannot be removed at the president’s discretion, since they were elected by popular vote; they can only leave office through voluntary resignation, legal incapacity, or impeachment, in accordance with the law.
