adminThe SCJ said in a press release that the elections’ audit results are necessary to support a decision on the challenge of the results made by the former opposition candidate, Henrique Capriles, who rejected the elections’ results.
The SCJ’s Constitutional Hall gave five days for the NEC to submit the report on the elections’ audit.
The NEC should also submit all the convenient instruments for the Constitutional Hall to take a decision about seven challenges presented by Capriles and the Venezuelan opposition.
The audit process began on April 29 and finished on June 8. The audit was a petition of Capriles, who later rejected to participate in the process because the NEC did not include the inspection of the voting notebooks.
The NEC declared Maduro as the winner with 7,587,532 votes (51, 61 percent) against 7,363,264 votes obtained by Capriles (49,12 percent), a difference of 1.49 percent.—Xinhua.
