Venezuela Election Live | US Recognises Opposition’s Edmundo González Urrutia As Winner | N18G

US recognizes Maduro’s rival as winner of Venezuelan election The United States on Thursday night recognized Venezuela’s opposition presidential candidate, Edmundo González, as the winner of the country’s disputed presidential election. The announcement, by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, comes despite a claim by the country’s authoritarian president, Nicolás Maduro, and by the government-controlled electoral body that Maduro won the vote. Maduro has yet to produce clear evidence of a victory, and election officials have failed to provide a vote count. González’s campaign says that it has receipts from more than 80% of voting machines that indicate that he won the election by an insurmountable margin. #mudaro #venezuela #news18live n18oc_live n18oc_world News18 Mobile App -
