This Friday, the hearing of the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) was held, resulting from the filing of the application for amparo introduced by the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro.

In this regard, the president of the Supreme Court, Judge Caryslia Beatriz Rodríguez, declared admissible the request made last Wednesday by the head of state.

He specified that the country 's highest court heard the amparo filed for the purpose of “investigating and verifying in an unambiguous and unrestricted manner the results of these elections, this court being the sole and highest instance of the contentious electoral jurisdiction, which converts its decisions into mandatory terms”.

The judicial authority called on the intervening candidates who participated in the electoral process to abide by and respect the ruling inherent to the present case.

“On the basis of the reasoning made, this Electoral Chamber of the country's highest court, administering justice on behalf of the Republic by authority of the Law and in accordance with the constitutional and legal powers attributed to it, declares: that it is competent, accepts and assumes the contentious electoral appeal presented on July 31, 2024, by the constitutional citizen president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro Moros,” he said.
