Leader of the Venezuelan opposition Maria Corina Machado said this Sunday that the schedule for the presidential elections of July 28 provides for the replacement of candidates no later than ten days before the process, so she asked her followers to show confidence.

“It is not true that they (Chavismo) can do whatever they want and impose their conditions on us, changing the rules, violating the Constitution. The laws are very clear: we have up to ten days until July 28 to replace a candidate, and the fight is on. Now is the time,” he said in a video published on X.

The former deputy, deprived of the right to hold an elected position, nominated historian Joris, who also could not be registered as chief anti-Chavista coalitionDemocratic Unitary Platform (DUP).

Voting schedule published by the publication National Electoral Council (CNE) establishes the replacement of candidates, which is reflected on the ballot, between April 1 and April 20 of the same month.

Subsequently, between April 28 and July 18, changes of candidates may be made without these changes being reflected on the ballot papers, always in accordance with the CNE schedule.

Machado insisted that on October 22, when the opposition held its primaries presidential where she became the winner, Venezuelans expressed a desire to “break with the old politics and in favor of change.”

“We have given ourselves a mandate and we will not allow them to betray it,” he added.

Last tuesday, PUD announced the provisional registration of Edmundo González Urrutia, who can be replaced as of April 1 if he does not have any administrative sanctions or obstacles provided for by law and the CNE recognizes the candidacy it supplies.
