Venezuela’s election dispute reaches endgame
Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro seems all but certain to be sworn in for a third term on 10 January despite a final push by the political opposition to try and encourage a military rebellion against his leadership. Major street demonstrations were planned in Venezuela for 9 January and were expected to be attended by the opposition’s de-facto leader, María Corina Machado, in her first public appearance after months in hiding. Meanwhile, the exiled opposition candidate Edmundo González, widely viewed as the winner of the presidential election in July 2024, was concluding a frantic diplomatic tour of the Americas which has deepened Maduro’s international isolation but not dented his determination to cling on to power.
