Venezuela: Protestors Clash with Police after Disputed Election Result | BBC News

Jul 30, 2024 | There have been protests across Venezuela following the announcement on Monday of the disputed result of the presidential election.

The National Electoral Council (CNE) - which is dominated by government allies - declared Nicolás Maduro the winner. The CNE's announcement has been widely decried as fraudulent both inside and outside Venezuela with the Carter Center demanding the CNE publish the detailed voting tallies. The opposition said the tallies it has had access to - which it has made public - show that its candidate, Edmundo González, is the clear winner.
