Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has returned home to a fraught political landscape after over 10 months in exile.

"I am here. With you," Machado wrote on X on Sunday.

Her ally, former presidential candidate Edmundo González Urrutia, confirmed the news minutes later, writing: "I am thrilled to announce to you that our leader, my dear María Corina, is on Venezuelan soil."

In January, a month after Machado left Venezuela to accept the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway, the US seized her opponent, President Nicolás Maduro.
