A six-member commission comprised of exiled opposition figures will negotiate with Venezuela’s ruling socialist government, with support from the U.S. Embassy, to establish a new National Electoral Council (CNE). The commission, originating from the 2015 National Assembly, aims to reform the electoral body. All members have been living in exile. This negotiation represents a potential shift in the political landscape, seeking to address concerns about the fairness and transparency of Venezuelan elections. The move is being facilitated with diplomatic backing from the United States. Details regarding the specific individuals involved and the negotiation agenda remain limited, but the focus is clearly on restructuring the CNE. This development signals an attempt to create a more equitable electoral process in Venezuela.
