Venezuela: Landslide Victory for Deposed Mayors’ Wives in Special Elections

EspañolThe wives of the deposed and imprisoned mayors of San Cristóbal and San Diego, Daniel Ceballos and Enzo Scarano, won Sunday’s municipal elections by a landslide.

Patricia Gutiérrez de Ceballos, Democratic Unity Roundtable’s (MUD) opposition candidate, was elected mayor of San Cristobal in Táchira state with 73.6 percent of the vote, according to results published in the National Electoral Council’s (CNE) website. Alejandro Mendez, running for the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), secured only 25.54 percent of the electorate.

This situation in Mexico, with Sheinbaum at the helm and Andrés Manuel López Obrador in the shadows, recalls CFK's victory in 2011 when she was reelected with 54% of the vote. (PanAm Post)
