International reactions to the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election of Incumbent President Nicolás Maduro on 28 July 2024 emerged from around the world, including from states and international institutions.

Polls conducted before the election indicated that González would win by a wide margin. After the government-controlled National Electoral Council (CNE) announced partial results showing a narrow Maduro victory on 29 July, some world leaders and the opposition expressed skepticism of the claimed results or did not recognize the CNE claims;[1][2][3] while some countries, such as Russia, China, and Iran, among others, recognized Maduro.[2] Both González and Maduro proclaimed themselves winners of the election. The declaration of Maduro as the winner was quickly followed by a mixture of scepticism and criticism from the leaders of most Latin American countries. Some Latin American countries, however, recognized and congratulated Maduro as the election winner, including Bolivia, Cuba, Honduras, and Nicaragua.[1][3]

The Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry indicated, through its X (Twitter) account, that it rejects the "lack of transparency in the Venezuelan elections", adding that: "the absence of guarantees in the process... delegitimizes and vitiates the results of the elections", also calling on the International Community to monitor and verify the transfer of the elections. President Daniel Noboa reposted the message on his account, adding that: "there are politicians who try to cling to power, that is the danger of the dictatorship" and requested that the Foreign Ministry take steps to convene the Permanent Council of the OAS and address the situation in Venezuela.[70]

Notes

  1. ^ The political status of Abkhazia is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
