Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia have urged Venezuela to release detailed voting tallies from the presidential election, while the U.S. has recognized opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez as the winner.

Venezuela's electoral council claimed President Nicolas Maduro won the election with 51% of the vote, but the opposition disputes this, alleging Gonzalez received more than double the support according to their data.

The controversy has sparked deadly protests and led to diplomatic expulsions. Human Rights Watch reported 20 deaths in post-election demonstrations, and over 1,200 protesters have been arrested. The international community calls for impartial verification and transparency in the election results.
