In a recent development in Venezuela, the main opposition coalition has expressed frustration over the electoral authorities' refusal to allow the registration of their presidential candidate before the deadline. The coalition, known as the Unitary Platform, stated that the inability to register their candidate, Corina Yoris, represents a violation of the citizens' right to vote for change in the country.
Yoris, an 80-year-old newcomer, was named as the substitute for opposition leader María Corina Machado, who has been banned by the government from running for office. Despite efforts to register Yoris before the midnight deadline on Monday, the opposition coalition was unsuccessful in their attempts.
