Pro-Government and opposition Deputies have agreed on three possible candidates to be the “fifth” and deciding member in the Electoral Commission (CNE). The three are:
Eliazar Diaz Rangel: Editor of daily Ultimas Noticias, Professos of Journalism Universidad Central de Venezuela.
Teodoro Petkoff: Founder of Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS), Presidential candidate in the 80’s for MAS, Minister of Planning during the Caldera administration 95-98, Editor of Caracas’ afternoon newspaper Tal Cual
Carlos Delgado Chapellin: Head of the electoral Commission for almost two decades. Minister of Foreign Relations during the brief transition Government after Carlos Andres Perez was impeached in 1994.
Apparently these are the candidates both sides agree to in that particular order, the question is now whether any of the three are interested. I understand Petkoff said no a couple of weeks ago, I think he would be the best of three because he has political weight, is a good negotiator and is the best known of the three to the general public, giving importance to the decision of that body.
