Maduro calls for polls date by today

Venezuela's unpopular President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday urged officials to set a presidential election date in 48 hours' time for a vote that he'd like to see take place within another week. The snap poll is to happen sometime before the end of April, after the Constituent Assembly announced last week the vote was being brought forward from December.
