Simón Bolívar University Corina Yoris Villasana (born March 17, 1944) is a Venezuelan philosopher, professor and politician, who was the Unitary Platform candidate in the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election, as the replacement for María Corina Machado, who was politically disqualified.

Yoris was born in Caracas and graduated in Letters and Philosophy from the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello (UCAB) in 1980 and 1981, respectively, where she also obtained her PhD in history in 1999.

[6] On 9 November 2022, she was appointed by the Unitary Platform as a principal member of the National Primary Commission, whose function was to organize the primary elections of the opposition coalition[8][9] ahead of the 2024 presidential election that was held on 28 July.

María Corina Machado, an opposition candidate who was disqualified by the Comptroller General, announced on 22 March 2024 that Yoris would be the presidential candidate for both Unitary Platform and A New Era, the only political organizations authorized by the electoral body to participate in the elections, as well as other sectors of the Venezuelan opposition grouped in the Gran Alianza Nacional (GANA).
