Venezuela’s opposition unit is rallying behind Edmundo González, a former ambassador, for the upcoming elections. Key opposition figures like Manuel Rosales withdrew their candidacy in favor of González, signaling a strong unified front against President Nicolás Maduro’s re-election campaign for a third term. The united stance comes following reimposed oil and gas sanctions by the US on Venezuela.

The opposition coalition’s unity could force a fairer election. Original Text by Andreina Itriago Acosta in-> Bloomberg News
