Venezuela election 2024 results, live

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has attacked the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy for requesting transparency in the disputed elections of July 28. “Aim your rifles and cannons at Venezuela,” he said. He did so during a summit of Bolivarian leaders by announcing that at the latest Venezuela would hold “a mega-election” for the National Assembly, 23 governorships and 335 mayoralties within a year. Hours earlier, Diosdado Cabello, one of the main leaders of Chavismo, called for an official march parallel to the one organized on Wednesday by the opposition. Candidate Edmundo González Urrutia regretted that the summons from the government-controlled prosecutor’s office to appear for the alleged conspiracy for the publication of voting records on a website lacked “guarantees and freedoms and due process.” This reaction came a day after it was known that the 74-year-old diplomat was summoned on Monday to testify before the Public Ministry in Caracas. González Urrutia did not appear and received a new summons for this Tuesday, August 27. Meanwhile, Juan Carlos Delpino, one of the five main rectors of the National Electoral Council (CNE), denounced the “lack of transparency” in the vote-counting process as well as “non-compliance with the necessary rules and regulations” in the elections of July 28, leading him to conclude that the results presented by the regime are not “true.” After the Venezuelan Supreme Court confirmed Maduro’s victory last Thursday, the United States and a dozen Latin American countries rejected the decision.
