The lack of transparency over Venezuela’s presidential election results, coupled with widespread arrests that followed anti-government protests, has drawn global condemnation against President Nicolás Maduro and his allies. The presidential candidate for the opposition, Edmundo González, claimed victory, which set up a showdown with the government that declared Maduro the winner. An AP review of the tally sheets released by the opposition indicates that González won significantly more votes than the government claimed, casting serious doubt on the official declaration that Maduro won. We have been reporting on the election, the protests and the global reactions that followed the results. Join us today, Sept. 9 at 10:30 a.m ET.
