Venezuela's upcoming presidential election is shaping up to be a one-sided affair, with incumbent President Nicolás Maduro currently the sole prominent candidate in the running. Despite the presence of potential challengers, Maduro stands out as the only politician with the necessary resources for a campaign and a guaranteed spot on the ballot.
The election, scheduled for July 28, has already positioned Maduro as the representative for the powerful United Socialist Party of Venezuela. His main rival, opposition leader María Corina Machado, has been sidelined by the government, leaving other contenders without the political machinery required for a competitive campaign.
