Venezuelans are gearing up for their first full presidential election in over a decade as opposition parties have united behind a single candidate in a bid to unseat the current regime. The de facto opposition leader has garnered significant support, with both Chavistas and anti-Chavistas in Venezuela expressing a desire for change.
However, experts caution that merely changing the president may not be enough to address the deep-rooted issues within Venezuelan institutions. The upcoming election has seen opposition supporters rallying behind a candidate who holds a substantial lead over the incumbent President Nicolas Maduro.
