I expect the Venezuelan election authorities to disclose complete and comprehensive election result data so that everyone can see the results."

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN VENEZUELA

According to the results announced by the Venezuelan Electoral Council, Nicolas Maduro won the presidential election for the third time with a 51.20% vote share. After the completion of the elections, the opposition, in a statement on July 29, claimed that the National Electoral Council data was incorrect and that the results were fraudulent. In protests held in the country due to allegations of fraudulent election results, 11 people have lost their lives in clashes between security forces and protesters so far.
