Manuel Rosales runs as an opposition candidate in Venezuela, after Corina Yoris cannot register. Rosales' announcement comes after the Democratic Unitary Platform, the main opposition bloc, denounced that the electoral authorities did not allow Yoris' candidacy to be registered.

“I come with open arms to rebuild Venezuela,” he added, without explaining how he managed to access the application system. The main Venezuelan opposition parties, which have fragmented in recent years, put aside their divisions last year to bet on a unity candidate to compete with Maduro.
