Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado rejected Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's claims that he won the 2024 elections.
Speaking to the press, Machado said that Edmundo Gonzalez won 70% of the votes and should become the legitimate president. "Independent and autonomous companies provided convincing results throughout the day. Quick counts showed historic participation, increasing hour by hour. We have voting tallies from over 40% of ballot boxes, all matching the National Electoral Council's data. This information confirms that Edmundo Gonzalez obtained 70% of the votes, while Nicolas Maduro received 30%," she stated, adding that "truth will prevail."
Meanwhile, the country's electoral council previously shared that after counting 80% of the votes, Maduro enjoyed 51.2% support, despite various officials questioning such results.
