Salvador Alejandro César Nasralla Salum (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. A member of the Liberal Party, he has been described as a centrist.
Nasralla began his career in business, before becoming the presenter of the TV programs 5 Deportivo and X-0 da Dinero; he has been called "El señor de la televisión". He founded the Anti-Corruption Party in 2011 and stood for president in the 2013 Honduran general election, coming in fourth place. Nasralla ran 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; he narrowly lost to incumbent President Juan Orlando Hernández, despite widespread claims of fraud and irregularities. After the election Nasralla temporarily retired from politics before creating the Savior Party of Honduras in 2019. Initially planning to run as the party's presidential nominee, he ultimately withdrew his candidacy to become the running mate of Libre presidential nominee Xiomara Castro who would win the 2021 general election. After serving as Vice President for two years, Nasralla resigned to run in the 2025 general election, securing the nomination of the Liberal Party.
