Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado holds a political rally ahead of presidential election despite having little chance of overcoming the hurdles the state has placed in her way. Polls show that Machado, who won an opposition primary with 92 percent of votes cast last October, would likely beat incumbent Nicolas Maduro in elections set for July 28. But she has been disqualified by state-aligned institutions from holding public office, accused of corruption. IMAGES
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado holds a rally ahead of the July 28 presidential election. Machado, who overwhelmingly won the opposition primary, was declared ineligible by a Maduro-aligned court. However, she refuses to step down despite being barred from public office for 15 years based on charges widely dismissed as spurious. IMAGES

Liberal politician Maria Corina Machado celebrates with supporters as she leads in the first round of Venezuela's opposition primary designed to select a rival to President Nicolas Maduro in 2024 elections. Machado however is currently disqualified and in theory cannot be a candidate in that election. A first bulletin from the commission that organised the internal elections gave Machado 552,430 out of 601,110 votes so far counted with 26% of the ballots counted. Her closest rival, Carlos Prosperi, who had denounced irregularities in the process, obtained 28,153 votes, with the rest polling less than 5,000. IMAGES
