US EditionMachado: Venezuela could have elections in less than a year
Machado envisions a nine-to-ten month transition to democratic elections with manual voting, aiming for a stable government supported by popular and military backing.
- On Feb 5, Maria Corina Machado said Venezuela could hold elections later in 2026 and that a `real transferring process with manual voting` could be done in nine to 10 months, though `that depends when you start`.
- Following the U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro, Machado said her movement has legitimate leadership with huge popular support and that parts of the armed forces back a transition to democracy.
- Recent Venezuelan votes occurred `under very tough circumstances`, Machado said, but independent election monitors found those elections were neither free nor fair.
- A White House official said President Donald Trump wants elections `at the right time` but warned the transition `cannot happen overnight`, while U.S. Congress seeks clarity after ousting Maduro last month.
- U.S. intelligence reports question whether Acting President Delcy Rodriguez is fully on board with the strategy, while officials say Venezuela's elections depend on the country's recovery.
