Venezuela opposition candidate to appear on presidential ballot for three parties

Venezuela unity opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez will appear as three parties' candidate on the ballot for July presidential elections, after two additional parties said on Tuesday they were able to list him in their slots.

Gonzalez, 74, was already on the ballot for the Democratic Unity party, which originally registered him as a placeholder while the Unitary Platform coalition decided who will carry its banner, after primary winner Maria Corina Machado was banned from office and her alternate was unable to register.
