Venezuelans Vote in High-Stakes Presidential Election
Millions of Venezuelans Head to the Ballot Box
Election Will Determine the Fate of Socialist Movement
Millions of Venezuelans headed to the ballot box on Sunday, July 28, in a highly consequential presidential election. The election is expected to have ripple effects across the Americas, as Venezuela has been a major player in regional politics for decades. President Nicolas Maduro, who has been in power since 2013, is seeking a third term. His main challenger is Henrique Capriles, a former governor and opposition leader.
The election comes at a time of great uncertainty for Venezuela. The country is facing a severe economic crisis, with inflation soaring and shortages of basic goods. Crime and violence are also rampant. The election is seen as a test of whether Venezuelans are willing to continue to support the socialist movement that has been in power for nearly two decades, or whether they are ready for a change.
