For the second consecutive day, Venezuela’s Supreme Justice Court is holding hearings to receive from former presidential candidates the electoral records related to the elections held on July 28.

These hearings are part of a process initiated through a contentious appeal filed by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who requested that the Supreme Court conduct a thorough investigation of the presidential elections to dispel the far-right opposition’s false narratives about fraud.
Supreme Court President Caryslia Rodriguez received the representative of the Popular Will Party, Jose Noriega, who was required to appear before the judges on Thursday morning.
“We bring all the information that Arepa Digital, Popular Will, and I have gathered. We are here to strengthen transparency, to give the country confidence in this presidential election, and to ensure that Venezuelans address the issues we face,” said Daniel Ceballos, the first former presidential candidate to appear before the Supreme Court’s Electoral Chamber.
Subsequently, the representative of Renewal and Hope, Jose Perdomo, appeared before the judges to present all the electoral materials his political organization has in its possession.
Last week, the Supreme Court officially summoned the 10 presidential candidates and the representatives of political parties to present all the electoral materials they have in their possession.
It is estimated that these hearings before the Electoral Chamber could last 15 days and may be extended if the Supreme Court authorities deem it necessary.
