Show Notes

Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro has remained in power following a highly contested election on July 28.

Despite polls suggesting an opposition victory, the government-controlled electoral council declared Maduro the winner with 51.2% of the vote, while opposition candidate Edmundo González received 44.2%.

The international community has expressed skepticism about the results, with several countries, including Canada, the US, Chile, and Peru questioning the legitimacy of the election.
