The country's attorney general said on Wednesday his office has launched a criminal investigation into the primary and members of its organising commission. The US State Department has already said it will reinstate previous sanctions if Maduro's government does not rescind public office bans on Machado and others, as well as release political prisoners and"wrongly detained" Americans by the end of November.
Machado, who won about 93 percent of votes in the primary, met with about 10 foreign diplomats on Wednesday at her party's headquarters, sparking the government's objections.
