Available polling data suggests immense support for the opposition’s candidate for president, former diplomat Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, a stand-in for opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, whose own candidacy was banned by the regime after she won an overwhelming victory in the opposition’s primary last October. Supporting a credible election process and assuring acceptance by the regime and opposition of the outcome of the vote will be a challenge for the entire region but especially for the governments of Brazil and Colombia. It is both urgent and important that they make clear to the Venezuelan regime their support for a free election, a demonstrably accurate vote count and a peaceful transition if, as seems likely from available polling data, the opposition wins.
