Protesters have taken to the streets again in Venezuela as opposition leaders are disputing the results of a weekend election that saw President Nicolas Maduro secure another term in power.
 
The opposition’s Maria Corina Machado called for families to turn out on T
Machado told reporters a day earlier that a review of available voting records from Sunday’s election showed that presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez had achieved a “categorical and mathematically irreversible” victory over Maduro.
 
The two opposition leaders appeared at a gathering in the capital of Caracas on Tuesday. “What we are fighting here is a fraud by the regime,” said Machado, urging peaceful protest.
 
A large crowd, many waving Venezuelan flags, chanted: “We are not afraid!”
 
Opposition protesters also marched in the cities of Valencia, Maracay, San Cristobal, Maracaibo and Barquisimeto throughout the day.
 
The demonstrations come a day after Venezuela’s National Electoral Council (CNE) formally confirmed that Maduro had been re-elected by a majority of Venezuelans to another six-year term as president “for the period 2025-2031”.
 
That announcement fuelled widespread anger and pushed thousands of Venezuelans to take to the streets of several neighbourhoods in Caracas and elsewhere to voice their opposition to Maduro and his government.
