Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s party officially nominated him on Monday as a candidate for the upcoming July presidential elections. 

The Vice President of the ruling United Socialist Party Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, signed the registration documents.

That said, Maduro (61) will seek a third term in the July 28 elections. He has been in power since 2013 and was re-elected in 2018.

"I love this country endlessly and have always defended it since I was little, and I will defend it with my life if necessary."

On the other hand, Corina Yoris (80) was nominated as the opposition candidate on Friday.

Earlier this month, during a large event at the Poliedro de Caracas, Maduro accepted the nomination for reelection in July from the country's ruling party, the PSUV or United Socialist Party of Venezuela, founded by the late President Hugo Chavez.

In a statement, he expressed that he accepts the nomination "Given the decision taken by the people in the territory and that has ratified this V Extraordinary Congress of the PSUV and this IV Extraordinary Congress of the JPSUV."

For his part, Diosdado Cabello stated that Maduro Moros was elected president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) following 317,187 grassroots assemblies in which 4,240,032 PSUV members nominated the present president.

Venezuela's July 28 elections

Venezuela's presidential elections are scheduled for July 28, as announced by the head of the national electoral council on March 5.

Lawmakers aligned with the government, opposition groups, and other entities, proposed a range of dates two weeks ago, spanning from April to December.
 
The head of the electoral council, Elvis Amoroso, stated that the council "evaluated the different proposals for a schedule that contemplates all the constitutional, legal and technical requirements," as he read from an official statement.

It is worth noting that July 28 marks the birthday of the late President Hugo Chavez, who served as the mentor and predecessor to President Maduro until his passing in 2013.

In an electoral agreement forged in October, both the government and the opposition decided that the election would occur in the latter half of 2024, with international observers ensuring its transparency. Moreover, as part of the electoral agreement, each faction is set to independently choose its candidate for the upcoming presidential election.
