Venezuelan Supreme Court Upholds Maduro's Controversial Election Victory

Court's decision faces widespread rejection amid allegations of fraud and international criticism.

Venezuela's Supreme Court, dominated by Chavismo, certified Maduro's victory in the disputed July 28 election.
The ruling was expected due to the court's longstanding ties to Nicolás Maduro and his party.
Opposition and international observers, including the UN, have condemned the election results as fraudulent.
Protests erupted across Venezuela following the court's decision, leading to clashes with police.
The Maduro regime dismissed the accusations, claiming the opposition aimed to incite a coup.
