Similar Stories to Venezuela’s Maduro Has Disqualified His Opposition From The Next Presidential Election on Bing News

As the President of Venezuela consolidated his party’s hold on power with what appeared to be a landslide win at municipal polls this weekend, he dealt another blow to the country’s main opposition groups by disqualifying them from next year’s bid for the presidency. None of the political parties that boycotted the mayoral race will be allowed to participate in the 2018 presidential election, incumbent Nicolás Maduro said, according to the BBC. Three of the country’s biggest opposition parties, Justice First, Popular Will and Democratic Action, shunned the mayoral vote amid allegations of a corrupt electoral system rigged in favor of Maduro’s United Socialist Party of Venezuela. In an October gubernatorial race, opposition activists said they were robbed of votes due to irregularities like a shortage of polling stations in anti-Maduro neighborhoods.
