President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro says the opposition is attempting a coup.
The Electoral Commission (CNE), loyal to Maduro, declared him president for a new six-year term on Monday. According to the Electoral Commission, Maduro won the opposition by Edmundo Gonzalez with 51.2 percent of the votes.
The announced result was immediately rejected by the opposition and key regional neighbors.
Head of EU foreign policy Josep Borrell and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres have urged the election board to be transparent.
