Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro says he has asked the country’s Supreme Court to conduct an audit of the recent presidential election.

This after opposition leaders disputed his claim of victory, demonstrations across the country following the election, and amid international calls to release detailed vote counts.

The Associated Press says Mr Maduro told reporters on Wednesday that the ruling party is ready to show the totality of the tally sheets from Sunday’s election.

He also reportedly added that he is “willing to be summoned, questioned, investigated.”

Mr Maduro’s main challenger, Edmundo González, and opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, say they obtained more than two-thirds of the tally sheets that each electronic voting machine printed after polls closed.

They also believe the release of the data on those tallies would prove Mr Maduro lost the election.
