Machado endorses US roadmap of new court, electoral council, vacancy and vote within six months; polls show her far ahead
Machado, in a statement to the Ibero-American Summit in Madrid, endorsed a US-backed roadmap as a reasonable route back to constitutional order: a new Supreme Court by mid-December, then a new National Electoral Council, then a declaration that the presidency is vacant, triggering an election within six months. Interim President Delcy Rodriguez has ruled out an immediate vote, saying institutional reform must come first, and has set no date. A Meganalisis poll (Oct. 26-Nov. 1) put Machado at 70.1% and Rodriguez at 3.4%, while an AtlasIntel survey showed 52% to 19%. Power outages linked to El Nino-driven demand are fuelling public anger, according to reports.
