Chavismo’s highest court is suspending the opposition primaries: a week after they happened and resulted in a surprising turnout of more than 2.3 million people in Venezuela. The court is asking the National Commission of Primaries to hand out all documents and material related to the primaries, including the resignations of former pre-candidates.
The Chavista coalition is saying that the opposition committed a “mega-fraud” to proclaim María Corina Machado -banned from running for office and who won with over 92% of the vote- as the Unitary Platform’s candidate in the 2024 presidential elections.

Three members of the National Commission of Primaries, and all the presidents of the regional boards, had to show up in the Public Ministry yesterday.
