Leoni Wins Venezuelan Presidency In 1963 Vote
Raul Leoni, Betancourt ally and former labor lawyer, captured a decisive victory in Venezuela’s 1963 presidential election amid threats from Communist militants. Unofficial tallies gave Leoni about 692,206 votes to Rafael Caldera’s 470,174, with 95 percent of eligible voters participating as violence subsided in Caracas. A U S Embassy vigil followed the abduction of Lt. Col. James K. Chenault, deputy chief of the U S military mission, who remained missing.
