Default Venezuelans vote in Election Challenging Maduro's grip on power

Over 9 million have left this terrible nation.

Some fear Maduro could use the Military
to stay in power.

Report on Ch4HDnews.




BBC:

[Venezuelans are going to the polls in
what has been described as the biggest
challenge to the governing socialist
PSUV party since it came to
power 25 years ago.

Nicolás Maduro - who has been president since
the death of his mentor, Hugo Chávez, in 2013 - will
be running for a third consecutive term.

His main challenger is Edmundo González,
a former diplomat who has the backing
of a coalition of opposition parties.

Polls suggest Mr González has a wide lead
over the incumbent, but as Mr Maduro's
2018 re-election was widely dismissed
as neither free nor fair,
there are fears that the result
of this election could be
tampered with,
should it not go Mr Maduro's way.
