In a surprising turn of events, Venezuelan presidential candidates Ratti and Alvarado have both declined their candidacies in favor of supporting social democratic deputy Luis Eduardo Martínez. The announcement was made during a press conference where the candidates were received by the National Electoral Council.
Juan Alvarado, in particular, made a statement declaring his support for Martínez and expressing confidence in his ability to lead the country in a positive direction. This move has garnered attention and support from various political parties, with even Acción Democrática announcing their support for Martínez.
This decision comes as a strategic move to consolidate support for a single candidate in the upcoming presidential election, in order to increase the chances of success against the current government. The addition of Martínez to the presidential race has already generated excitement and optimism among supporters of the social democratic party.
With these recent developments, the political landscape in Venezuela is shifting dramatically as the election approaches. It will be interesting to see how these changes will impact the outcome of the election and the future of the country.
