Vargas State Governor Candidate Jose Manuel Olivares Meets With Residents As Opposition Bets On Elections

Campaign volunteers for Jose Manuel Olivares, opposition coalition (MUD) governor candidate for Vargas State, stand in front of graffiti depicting the late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez and Venezuelan political leader Simon Bolivar in La Guaira, Venezuela, on Friday, Oct. 6, 2017. As Venezuela prepares to elect 23 governors on Sunday in elections stalled for a year by the socialist regime, the opposition coalition has made inroads into vast slums and countryside once considered impenetrable.
