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.
