Venezuelans are set to pick who they think can end the decade-long crisis-ridden presidency of Nicolás Maduro

Venezuelans get a chance Sunday to pick who they think can end the decade-long crisis-ridden presidency of Nicolás Maduro. They will cast ballots in a primary election independently organized by the country’s opposition despite government repression and other obstacles. The contest is in itself an exercise in democracy because it required the deeply fractured opposition to work together to give the South American country its first presidential primary since 2012.

Still, both the government and its foes have used the contest as a bargaining chip to extract concessions from each other as part of a negotiation process meant to end the country's complex social, economic and political crisis. Maduro and an opposition faction backed by the U.S. government agreed during the week to work together on basic conditions for the 2024 presidential election.
