WASHINGTON — Opposition candidate and Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado would win a free and fair Venezuelan election in a landslide, both her party and international observers say, but the odds of democracy playing out in Caracas are slim with dictator Nicolas Maduro’s deputy still at the helm. Venezuelans have already made their choice loud and clear — even under brutal, rigged conditions during the nation’s 2024 elections, Venezuela’s opposition party spokesman Pedro Urruchurtu Noselli told The Post on Monday. Opposition candidate Edmundo González — who ran in Machado’s stead after Maduro banned her from running for office — won a whopping 67% of the vote, compared to Maduro’s 30%, according to printouts of the vote obtained by the opposition but denied by the Venezuelan dictator.
