The Venezuelan Electoral Committee has announced the results of the country’s presidential election, revealing that Nicolás Maduro has retained his position as President of Venezuela.

According to preliminary results released late on Sunday, July 28th, Nicolás Maduro secured 51.2% of the votes from 80% of the counted ballots, while his opponent received 44.2% of the votes.

The results were published six hours after the official closing of polling stations, and Nicolás Maduro has been declared the winner of his third presidential term.

The president described his victory as a “victory of hope and truth” and has been in power for a total of 11 years. His opponent’s coalition, which supported the rival candidate in this election, has contested the transparency of the election process.

The international community is closely monitoring the situation, with some observers questioning the legitimacy of the election results.

The opposition has called for an independent investigation into the voting process and alleged irregularities. As Venezuela faces continued political and economic challenges, the outcome of this election is likely to have significant implications for the country’s future stability and governance.
