Venezuela: CP in court bid to stop electoral ban

THE Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) will challenge new electoral authority rules in court this week which threaten to exclude it from elections.

At the weekend the party denounced the new National Electoral Council (CNE) rules requiring parties to submit full membership lists for publication on the authority’s website — or be deregistered and barred from elections.

PCV member Yul Jabour said on Monday the party would seek an injunction against the rule from the Supreme Justice Tribunal.
