New state ballot called after victor boycotts swearing-in
VENEZUELA’S national constituent assembly called a fresh election in Zulia state on Thursday after the new opposition governor refused to be sworn in.
Democratic Unity Roundtable (Mud) coalition governor-elect Juan Pablo Guanipa maintained his boycott of the assembly past Wednesday’s deadline for him to take his oath.
The assembly responded by calling a new election in the state for December. It also scheduled municipal elections for that month.
