Andrés Caleca, former candidate in the Venezuelan opposition primaries, highlighted that the electoral process has not closed in Venezuela, since the results disaggregated by table and voting center have not yet been published two and a half months after the presidential elections.
The politician and former candidate in the Venezuelan opposition primaries Andrés Caleca assured this Sunday, October 13, that the board of directors of the National Electoral Council (CNE) must be dismissed for future electoral processes, since they “in practice abandoned their position.”
“Two and a half months later, they have not given the results of the most important election in the country, which is the election of the President of the Republic,” he said in an interview with Opening Doorstransmitted by Venevision.
In the same program, he questioned the results announced by the CNE on July 28, according to which the current president Nicolás Maduro would have won the elections with 51.2% of the votes. «Where did those results come from? “That is a napkin that Mr. Amoroso read,” he said about the first bulletin read by Elvis Amoroso, principal rector of the electoral body.
Likewise, he stated that the electoral process has not ended in Venezuela, since the official results are not known. «Venezuela still does not know and without having filled out the legal details that have allowed the electoral process of July 28 to be closed. “Venezuela still does not know who won the elections on the 28th,” he emphasized.

“We, the Venezuelan opposition, know who won because we have more than 80% of the minutes that legally correspond to the opposition witnesses,” he commented on the electoral documents collected and digitized by the witnesses of the Unitary Platform, which were published in the page resultsconvzla.com. These minutes have been classified as false and fraudulent by the Venezuelan Government.
The end of the Republic
The political leader also maintained that not publishing the disaggregated results is “an attack against the foundations of the Republic.” «Our Republic is based on popular sovereignty, which is expressed through voting. Going against the vote, which is what is happening, is national sovereignty. Going against national sovereignty is the end of the Republic,” he said.
Caleca highlighted that the legal details have not been filled out and there is no totalization record, which is why he stated that the CNE did not fulfill its obligation.
In addition, he urged the ruling party to “leave the show” in relation to the dialogue called by the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, highlighting that “it is a unilateral dialogue.” «Our party, I joined the Movement for Venezuela, decided not to go, as did the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) and Un Nuevo Tiempo (UNT). They say that there were 38 parties, that 3 were missing, but those that were not represented 70% of the vote,” he highlighted.
Likewise, he recalled that it is the Executive branch and not the Legislative branch that decides on Venezuelan foreign policy after the 2020 National Assembly, with a Chavista majority, approved on Tuesday, October 8, a request to ask Maduro to sever diplomatic relations. consular and commercial relations with Spain.
«We must be clear that the foreign policy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is directed by the President of the Republic (…), so that this cannot go beyond an exhortation. “It is Maduro who has the decision,” he pointed out.
“I notice that the President of the National Assembly is like hyperventilating, I see him as too nervous, I don’t know what’s wrong with him, also inappropriate language, but it must be clear that foreign policy is directed by the Executive” Andrés Caleca. pic.twitter.com/SjIiPD7eyu
