His intervention comes as the presidents of Brazil, Mexico and Colombia all called on Venezuela to release the full details of last Sunday’s election.

It has also attracted global criticism, with many governments around the world demanding the Venezuelan government release proof of the result.

The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.

But, the US, European Union and other G7 countries have called on Mr Maduro’s government to release detailed voting data.

    Did the US remove sanctions on Pakistan on condition that they run fair elections? I ask because I don’t know. What I know is that they did so with Venezuela, and yet maduro didn’t run free elections.

      No the US backed a coup in Pakistan against Imrah Khan.

      Imran Khan did not want to get involved in the Russia-Ukraine war and the US wanted a Pakistani president who picked their side.
