US Recognizes Opposition Candidate As Venezuela's Disputed Election’s Winner | AljazairNews

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has declared that opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia won Venezuela's recent presidential election, contradicting Nicolas Maduro's self-proclaimed victory.

Blinken cited overwhelming evidence of electoral flaws and called for a peaceful transition, while regional leaders urged Maduro to release public voting tally sheets.

Maduro's electoral council refuses to do so, amid allegations of fraud and over 1,000 detentions.
