US Rejects Venezuelan Election Results, Declares Opposition Candidate the Winner

Washington has launched another attempt to remove Nicolas Maduro from power in Caracas

On Thursday, the State Department said that Edmundo González Urrutia won Sunday’s presidential election. The Venezuelan government election agency announced that President Nicolas Maduro had won a third term.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed that Urrutia won the election by an “insurmountable margin.” “The announcement of results by the Maduro-controlled National Electoral Council (CNE) were deeply flawed, yielding an announced outcome that does not represent the will of the Venezuelan people,” America’s top diplomat said.

Blinken’s statement continued, “Given the overwhelming evidence, it is clear to the United States and, most importantly, to the Venezuelan people that Edmundo González Urrutia won the most votes in Venezuela’s July 28 presidential election.”

The Secretary explained his conclusion was drawn from a report from the Carter Center, named for former US President Jimmy Carter. Blinken asserted the institute was “independent.” However, the Carter Center is funded by multiple US government agencies, including the State Department.

Over the past two decades, Washington has made multiple attempts to overthrow Maduro, and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez. Under President Donald Trump, the White House backed Juan Guaido’s claim to the presidency in Caracas.
