Venezuelan authorities declared President Nicolás Maduro the winner in his bid for a third term, but the opposition is prepared to dispute the results.
Monday, July 29, 2024 5:17AMCARACAS, Venezuela --Sunday, even as his opponents were preparing to dispute the results, setting up a high-stakes showdown that will determine whether the South American nation transitions away from one party rule.
It came as opposition leaders were already celebrating, online and outside a few voting centers, what they saw as a landslide victory for González. Their hope was boosted by purported exit polls showing a healthy margin of victory for González. Exit polls are not allowed under Venezuelan law. The electoral authority, which is controlled by Maduro loyalists, has yet to release the official voting tallies from each of the 30,000 polling centers, hampering the opposition's ability to verify the results.
