Nicolas Maduro re-elected President of Venezuela
TASS news agency reported on July 29 that the Venezuelan Electoral Council said that after counting 80% of the votes, Mr. Maduro received the support of 5,150,092 voters, equivalent to 51.2% of the total number of voters in the country.
Specifically, according to the above source, President of the National Electoral Council of Venezuela Elvis Amoroso said that incumbent President Nicolas Maduro won the country's presidential election, meaning he will be re-elected for a third term lasting 6 years.
According to the council's first announcement, after counting 80% of the votes, Mr. Maduro was supported by 5,150,092 voters, equivalent to 51.2%.
His main rival, Edmundo Gonzalez, who represents the right-wing parties, won 4,445,978 votes, or 44.2%. The remaining 4.6% of voters voted for eight other candidates in the race.
Also according to TASS, Mr. Amoroso explained that the delay in announcing the results of the July 28 election was due to an attack on the data publication system of this electoral body.
Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader, said the campaign of presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez would not concede defeat in the election. Throughout the day of the vote, CNN’s Spanish-language news channel aired statements from Gonzalez’s supporters claiming he was ahead of Maduro.
