STORYLINE:
Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro appeared on Friday before the Supreme Court to testify in the audit of the July 28 presidential election’ results.
Friday is the last day of hearings in which Venezuela’s highest court summons the presidential candidates, as requested by Maduro the previous week.
The hearings follow days of global criticism of Maduro and his loyal National Electoral Council over the election results.
Electoral authorities declared Maduro the winner but have yet to produce voting tallies.
Meanwhile, the opposition claims to have collected records showing that he lost the presidential election, from more than 80% of the 30,000 electronic voting machines nationwide.
On Thursday, his main election challenger, Edmundo González, was summoned to testify but did not attend the hearing.
