The Venezuelan opposition presidential candidate Edmundo González is expected to arrive in Spain, where he will be granted political asylum.

A Spanish Air Force plane is due to land at Torrejon air base in Madrid. Mr González had departed the country at his own request, according to Spain's Minister of Foreign Affairs José Manuel Albares.

Mr González has been in hiding, with an arrest warrant issued for him after the opposition disputed July's presidential election result - in which the government-controlled National Electoral Council (CNE) declared Nicolás Maduro the winner.

Venezuela's Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez said Mr González had asked the Spanish government for political asylum.
