Colombian President called on Venezuelan President to release detailed vote counts of the recent election, which has faced criticism for lack of transparency. The National Electoral Council has not yet released polling center-level results, raising concerns about the validity of the outcome.
Opposition leaders have questioned the election results, suggesting that the lack of detailed figures could indicate a different outcome. The Carter Center, an independent institution that monitors elections, expressed its inability to verify the results due to the absence of transparent data.
The Carter Center had experts present during the election but noted the failure of electoral authorities to provide polling station-specific results, which is essential for ensuring electoral integrity. The Center stated that the election process did not meet international standards and fell short of democratic principles.
