٠٠:٠٣:٢٦Crowds of protesters, including many Venezuelan expats, took to the streets of Lima on Sunday, following Nicolas Maduro's victory in the presidential election.
"The Venezuelan armed forces should come out to defend their people," said one, while another added: "They robbed us!"
"They say that he won when the polls were 70 to 30 [in our favour], so what can we expect?" she claimed. "They are going to leave us, the international community, they are going to leave us like this. Please help us."
Footage also shows a mock 'funeral' with a coffin in the back of a hearse and 'Maduro' written in flowers. Large numbers of riot police with guns can be seen, while motorcyclists can also be seen revving their engines and performing loops for the crowd.
Earlier, the National Electoral Council reported that with 80 percent of the ballots counted, Maduro had received 51 percent to his main challenger's 44 percent. It marks his 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.
Maduro's main opponent was Edmundo Gonzalez, a 74-year-old former diplomat. Opposition frontrunner Maria Corina Machado backed Gonzalez after she was banned from taking part amid corruption allegations which she denies. Around 17 million people were eligible to vote.
