The United States called on Venezuela to remove its ban on opposition members from holding office and participating in upcoming parliamentary elections.
The request was made after opposition leader Maria Machado said that her registration had been rejected.
The US State Department, in a statement said,
“We call on all relevant Venezuelan authorities to reconsider the ban imposed on candidates, and reiterate our call for credible and timely electoral observation.”
