Venezuela’s presidential election has sparked a fierce standoff between President Nicolas Maduro and opposition rival Edmundo Gonzalez, with both claiming victory in a bid to end 25 years of single-party rule. The announcement of results by the Maduro-controlled National Electoral Council has led to a mix of anger, tears, and loud pot-banging on the streets of Caracas and among Venezuelans living outside the country.
Many Venezuelans are expressing frustration and calling for Maduro to relinquish power, with one resident in Argentina referring to him as a dog who refuses to let go of power.

This latest development in Venezuela’s political saga has drawn attention from around the world, with many pointing to the need for a peaceful resolution to the standoff.
