"We have serious concerns that the announced result does not reflect the will or the votes of the Venezuelan people," said Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a visit to Tokyo, according to US media.

He called on the electoral commission to publish the full results. Every vote must be counted fairly and transparently. "The international community is watching this very closely and will react accordingly," he added.

According to official figures from the electoral commission, incumbent Nicolás Maduro won the election. The opposition does not recognize the victory.
