Of the group, only the sociologist and regional secretary of Let’s change In Guárico, Alejandra Barón, does not currently belong to the Venezuelan Parliament. The university professor also appears in the 26th position in the national award list where 50 deputies will be chosen.
This national list was first used in the 2020 parliamentary elections by order of the National Electoral Council and contributed to the increase in the number of seats to 277, but electoral experts have insisted that the calculation used is unconstitutional, since it must be done – according to the Constitution – on the basis of 1.1% of the population base, which will show as a result between 265 and 267 curles.
In the case of Juan Carlos Alvarado, National Secretary of COPEI and candidate for the Government of Táchira, is in position 6 of the national award list. “We are going to claim the Táchira, we will make the competence of the Government, that the competence of the legislative councils, that our leaders are, in turn, our voices in the National Assembly and that they can convey the needs that the State Táchira be respected,” he said after his registration.
