Mud insists on full audit of elections

Democratic Unity Roundtable (Mud) coalition parliamentary speaker Julio Borges, leader of the hardline Justice First party, claimed on Thursday to have evidence of vote-rigging in the knife-edge Bolivar state governor election.

The ruling United Socialist Party (PSUV) won 18 of 23 state governorships in the October 15 election, including in Bolivar where the count took several days to complete.
