María Corina Machado’s overwhelming victory in the Venezuelan opposition primary elections gives her very solid credentials, said Luis Vicente León, analyst and president of Datanalisis, Diario 2001 reported on October 23.
“This is a stellar, impressive victory, with a forecast of more than 90% (of the votes). “This is very shocking, it gives him very strong powers that he will no doubt try to use in an attempt to control the opposition and its institutions.” – Leon stated.
He noted that participation in the primaries was higher than expected. In his opinion, the number of voters ranges between 10 and 12% of the list of voters, that is, approximately 2.2 million votes.
León highlighted that this is a significant number of voters, and “This is enough to undoubtedly confirm and legitimize this election.” In his opinion, the agreement signed between the government and part of the opposition in Barbados allowed the government not to interfere in the development of the primaries.
It should be noted that the computer blockers took longer than expected to publish the final results of the primaries and forced the publication of the initial statement that contained only 26% of the total minutes.
It was previously reported that after scrutinizing 26.06% of the minutes, María Corina Machado obtained 93.13% of the votes in the opposition primaries, which is equivalent to 552,430 votes in her favor.
