02:02Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado claimed she had a 'way to prove the truth', as she and defeated presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez held a press briefing in Caracas on Monday.
"Today I want to tell all Venezuelans inside and outside the country, all democrats in the world, that we already have a way to prove the truth of what happened in these elections. We did it. We did it," she alleged.
"We want to call on all Venezuelans who … went to vote for Edmundo for a change and who want Venezuela to be free and dignified to meet. The men, the women, the children. The elderly. Let's go tomorrow as a family to meet in popular assemblies of citizens in all the cities of Venezuela," she said.
The National Electoral Council announced Nicolas Maduro the winner of the election, with 51 percent to Gonzalez's 44 percent. Following the results, celebrations and protests were seen across the country and throughout the world.
It marks Maduro's third consecutive election victory. He has been in power since 2013, while his United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) has governed the country since 2007.
Machado backed Gonzalez after she was banned from taking part amid corruption allegations which she denies. Around 17 million people were eligible to vote.
