Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has been nominated as his party’s candidate for the upcoming presidential election, a move that could secure him a third consecutive term without significant competition. However, the opposition leader María Corina Machado, who had a strong backing, was disqualified from running for public office for 15 years. The election process has faced criticism, with Maduro claiming widespread support but also being challenged over economic hardships and American sanctions. Despite obstacles, including the disqualification of other opposition figures, Machado vows to continue her campaign, prompting calls for unity from some quarters within the opposition.
