Boycott call for Venezuelan presidential polls
The opposition coalition, Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) also called for more protests against the government of President Nicolas Maduro on the day of the vote, Efe news reported.
On behalf of the MUD, Congresswoman Delsa Solorzano announced that suspending the May 20 elections "is what suits the national interest the most and is what the government should do to restore democratic rules".

If Maduro should win the elections, as many predict, the coalition "will not recognise the regime", she said.
