Questions surround the legitimacy of Nicolas Maduro's third term as president due to a lack of transparency surrounding the 2023 election results.
The government's lack of transparency in handling and announcing the results of the presidential election has sparked doubts about the legitimacy of Maduro's third term. Despite serious questions surrounding the official results from last year's election, Maduro is expected to begin his third six-year term on Friday. Maduro's supporters are expected to celebrate his swearing-in ceremony, which is being held by the ruling party-controlled congress.
Edmundo González, who claims to have won the July 28 election, has since gone into exile in Spain. González alleges he received twice the votes of Maduro based on detailed vote records obtained from 80% of the nation's electronic voting machines. He plans to return to Caracas on Friday but hasn't disclosed his plans upon arrival
