List of endorsements in the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election

Presidential elections were held in Venezuela on 28 July 2024 to choose a president for a six-year term beginning on 10 January 2025.[1][2] President Nicolás Maduro ran for a third consecutive term, while former diplomat Edmundo González Urrutia represented the Unitary Platform (Spanish: Plataforma Unitaria Democrática; PUD), the main opposition political alliance.

The Unitary Platform held primaries in October 2023, which were won in a landslide by María Corina Machado.[3] A few months earlier, in June 2023, she had been disqualified for fifteen years by the Comptroller General of Venezuela, but the decision was pending in court.[4][5][6]

After she was barred from running, Machado's endorsement of González was an important factor in the election[7] as he gained support from even former socialist supporters of the government,[8] along with support from the Machado-led opposition.[9][10]
