Corina Yorisappointed by Maria Corina Machado as a candidate, stayed out without any explanation having been presented so far.

The PUD confirmed the “provisional” registration of Eduardo González Urrutiabut clarified that his elected candidacy could not be registered.

“In response to the request we made from the Unitary Platform to the National Electoral Council, on behalf of the Democratic Unity Table party, for us to be granted an extension of the registration of the unitary candidacy, due to the impossibility of doing so within the stipulated period, it did not allow us access to the system, we communicated to the country that we have been notified by the electoral body that we have been granted a new time to carry out the process”, says the PUD in a statement.

“In this sense, given the manifest impossibility of registering the candidacy chosen so far by democratic factors, to continue fighting for it and guarantee the registration of said candidacy and remain within the electoral path, We decided to provisionally register the President of the Board of Directors of the Democratic Unity Party, citizen Edmundo González Urrutiato preserve the exercise of political rights that correspond to our political organization until we are able to register our unitary candidacy.”
