Evidence shows Venezuela’s election was stolen – but will Maduro budge?

Analyses indicate Nicolas Maduro lost the presidential election, but country's leader shows no signs of stepping aside

It is not new for Nicolas Maduro to be accused of attempting to steal a presidential election - the US described his claim to have won re-election in 2018 as an insult to democracy" - but the evidence for such allegations has never before been quite so overwhelming.

Analyses carried out by the opposition, academics and media organizations have offered strong evidence to suggest that the Venezuelan president lost - by a landslide - to the main opposition candidate, retired diplomat Edmundo Gonzalez.
