In Venezuela, opposition candidate Edmundo González appears to be achieving a landslide victory over incumbent President Nicolás Maduro. Reports from various polling stations, including those in Caracas and Yaracuy state, show González leading by significant margins. For instance, at the IUTY Center in Yaracuy, González secured 1920 votes compared to Maduro's 191 votes. Amid allegations of armed intimidation, electoral centers are publicly reading vote tallies to promote transparency. Maduro's campaign has not released official results but has made public appearances, suggesting confidence despite the apparent opposition lead. The election took place on 28J, and Maduro's campaign stated, "We can't tell you the results, but we can show you our faces."
