Venezuela's Supreme Court disqualifies opposition leader from running for president

Venezuela's Supreme Court upheld a 15-year ban on Maria Corina Machado from holding public office and confirmed the ineligibility of a potential opposition running mate. The United States and others have repeatedly called for the reinstatement of disqualified opposition candidates ahead of the election. Maduro's government and the opposition agreed in talks last year to hold a free and fair vote in 2024, with international observers present.
