G7 calls for transparency in Venezuela’s suspected fraudulent election.

, “Foreign ministers of the seven major countries, G7, expressed serious concerns over the alleged fraudulent election in Venezuela held on July 31 local time, urging the election results to be transparently disclosed,”

, “According to Reuters and AFP, they called for a complete transparent disclosure of detailed election results and immediate sharing of all information with opposition parties and independent election observers in a joint statement,”

, “The G7 foreign ministers expressed concerns over the escalating anti-government protests amid the spread of election fraud allegations, and urged maximum restraint and peaceful, democratic, Venezuela-led solutions in the current situation,”

, “Earlier, the Venezuelan Electoral Council announced on July 28 that Nicolas Maduro had won a third term in the presidential election,”

, “However, suspicions of election fraud arose as the real-time voting results were not disclosed and civil society observers were blocked from witnessing the vote count,”

, “The Carter Center, which dispatched an election observation mission, claimed that the Venezuelan presidential election did not meet international standards of electoral fairness and cannot be considered democratic,”

, “The G7 is a group of seven advanced Western countries including the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, and Japan, with Italy currently holding the G7 presidency this year.”
