US secretary of state Antony Blinken said America has “serious concerns” about the announced result of Venezuela’s presidential election that authorities say was won by incumbent Nicolas Maduro.

Speaking in Tokyo shortly after the announcement was made, Mr Blinken said the US was concerned that the result reflected neither the will nor the votes of the Venezuelan people.
