At Maduro request, Venezuelan court launches audit of election results

Venezuela's Supreme Court has initiated an audit of the presidential election results and summoned all candidates for testimony, following calls from opposition activists and international supporters for a vote recount.

The audit was requested by President Nicolas Maduro, who filed a constitutional protection lawsuit with the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice on Wednesday, asserting electoral interference.

"[The court] has accepted, supported and initiated an investigation and verification process in order to ultimately determine the results of the election," the statement released on Thursday read.

The court has summoned all 10 presidential candidates to provide testimony before the Electoral Chamber on August 2.
