Following Nicolás Maduro’s capture by U.S. forces in early 2026, Venezuela’s Supreme Tribunal installed Vice President Delcy Rodríguez as acting president, leaving the timing of the next presidential election unresolved under the 1999 constitution’s six-year term rules. The National Assembly leadership has prioritized national stabilization over immediate voting, explicitly ruling out elections in the near term as of February 2026. International actors, including the United States, and domestic opposition groups continue pressing for a negotiated political pact that addresses electoral reforms, voter registry updates, CNE independence, and monitoring before any date is set. These developments have kept market focus on whether institutional and diplomatic conditions can align for a scheduled vote within standard constitutional windows or require extended transitional arrangements.
