PSUV Wins Big in Venezuelan Elections Amidst Opposition Concerns

Venezuela's Regional and Legislative Elections: PSUV Dominates Amidst Zulia Controversy Caracas, Venezuela – The 2025 Venezuelan regional and legislative elections concluded with a decisive victory for the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). Preliminary results indicate that the PSUV secured approximately 82.68% of the active vote, winning a majority of governorships across the country. However, the elections have been met with controversy, particularly in Zulia state, where opposition leader Manuel Rosales lost to a PSUV candidate. "The PSUV's victory is undeniable," said a government spokesperson, "but we understand the concerns surrounding the Zulia results. We are committed to transparency and will investigate any irregularities." These comments were made during a press conference held by the National Electoral Council (CNE). The video analysis shows that in Cojedes state, Alberto Galindez of the "Vamos Vamos Cojedes" party secured victory. Other notable results include the Alianza Democratica securing 6.25% of the vote and UNT-Unica with 5.18%. The video also includes a list of the newly elected governors, almost all aligned with the PSUV. The opposition, however, has expressed concerns about potential irregularities, citing a lack of transparency and concerns about voter suppression. The controversy in Zulia, where Rosales's loss was particularly close, has raised questions about the fairness of the election process. International observers have yet to release a comprehensive report on the elections. Further investigation is needed to fully assess the legitimacy of the results and address the concerns raised by the opposition.
