Maduro is seeking a third six-year term at the helm of the once wealthy petro-state that saw GDP drop 80 percent in a decade, pushing more than seven million of its 30 million citizens to emigrate. Days before the vote, Maduro said the outcome would decide whether Venezuela enters a period of"peace or war."
Analysts said the president is unlikely to concede defeat, especially in the absence of immunity guarantees, with his government under investigation for human rights abuses by the International Criminal Court. Roberta Metsola, president of the European Parliament, spoke to Machado on Saturday, writing on X afterwards:"We are on the side of democracy. The world is watching these elections."
