Mexico City: Mexico will recognize the Venezuelan election result given by the electoral authority, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Monday, after Nicolas Maduro's declared victory prompted opposition claims of fraud.
"If the electoral authority confirms this trend, we will recognize the government elected by the people of Venezuela," Lopez Obrador told a news conference.
Mexico's foreign Ministry said later that the country's government was waiting for the final vote count as well as "detailed reports" from Venezuela's National Electoral Council (CNE).
"Mexico trusts that the will of the Venezuelan people expressed at the polls will be respected through a transparent counting process," a statement said.
The CNE said that Maduro had won re-election with 51.2 percent of votes.
