This Friday, Venezuela’s National Electoral Council (CNE) certified President Nicolás Maduro as the winner of Sunday’s presidential elections with 51.95% of the vote, in a process that the opposition and part of the international community considered fraudulent.
The statement was made in Caracas by CNE President Elvis Amoroso at a press conference without question after the United States and some Latin American countries named opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia as president-elect.
According to CNE, Maduro was re-elected with 6,408,844 votes, 51.95% of the total, while the main opposition candidate González Urrutia came in second with 5,326,104 votes, 43.18%.
