The U.S.-based election monitor group Carter Center cannot verify or corroborate Venezuela's election results, it said in a statement late Tuesday, a day after the country's electoral authority proclaimed President Nicolas Maduro the winner.

The independent group, which has monitored elections across the globe for years, faulted the electoral authority's failure to announce disaggregated results by polling station which it described as a "serious breach," adding the vote "cannot be considered democratic."
