Concerns over the legitimacy of Venezuela's presidential election persist as its entrenched incumbent president and the country’s opposition both claimed victory Monday — prompting foreign nations, including the United States, to hold off on recognizing the results. Election officials declared President Nicolás Maduro the winner over opposition candidate Edmundo González early Monday during a press conference on Venezuelan state television.
Chilean President Gabriel Boric said the results were “difficult to believe,” adding he would not accept any result that was not verifiable. Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares echoed Boric’s sentiment, saying details from all polling stations should be revealed to guarantee fully verifiable results. Russia, Cuba, Honduras and Bolivia have accepted Maduro’s victory.
