Venezuela to hold parliamentary elections in December with an expanded number of seats in the National Assembly

A member of the armed forces votes during presidential elections in Caracas, Venezuela, Sunday, May 20, 2018.

Candidates will contest an expanded number of seats in the new legislature, which will increase from 167 to 277, said Indira Alfonzo, the president of the recently appointed National Electoral Council announced on Tuesday. The opposition led by Juan Guaido, who is recognised as interim president by some 60 countries, has accused President Nicolas Maduro's government of wanting to hold elections without meeting "the minimum conditions of transparency."

The US is one of the dozens of countries formally backing National Assembly speaker Guaido that refuse to recognize Maduro on the grounds that his 2018 re-election was rigged.Maduro, who succeeded former president Hugo Chavez after his death in 2013, has presided over the economic collapse of his oil-rich country.

Remains of missing hiker found on Mt. BaldySreenivas Mokkapati became separated from his group and went missing in December. Aww RIP. That’s sad. Baldy is a great climb. Were they doing something off trail? Because it was kinda hard to get lost even with snow on the ground. A storm maybe? Hate to see hikers die doing what they love. Rest easy.
