U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the opposition's victory in Venezuela's recent election, criticizing the authoritarian leader Maduro and calling for a peaceful transition based on the will of the voters.
Despite Maduro declaring himself the winner with 51% of the vote, opponents possess voter tally sheets showing opposition candidate Gonzalez Urrutia winning by a large margin, sparking calls from regional leaders for transparency.
Maduro's refusal to release public voter polling tally sheets and his claims of hacking have led to over 1,000 detentions, indicating growing tensions and protests against alleged election fraud in Venezuela.
