HAPLESS Venezuelan opposition figure Juan Guaido called for his supporters to take to the streets next month as he plans to unseat President Nicolas Maduro in the 2024 election.

He said that peaceful protests would take place across the country in a bid to oust Mr Maduro, although Mr Guaido has led numerous failed coup attempts.

“We are talking about organising ourselves from now, we’re talking about a presidential election,” he said at an event on Sunday evening.
