"The only thing I could say is that there will not be an election in this immediate period of time where the stabilisation has to be achieved, Rodriguez replied. He explained that the decision is tied to a wider effort to rebuild and strengthen Venezuela's state institutions. What we're working on at the moment is what we call the re-institutionalisation of the country, so that every single institution of the country can again be brought to full power and full recognition by everybody, he said."
"The government of Delcy Rodriguez is actually looking for that, to stabilise the country completely and to make it all good and reconcile everybody, all the population of Venezuela, he said. The US abducted Maduro in a military action on January 3. In the weeks since, the Venezuelan Supreme Court has appointed Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, the National Assembly leader's sister, as acting president. She was formally sworn in on January 5, with support from both Venezuela's military and the governing party,"
Jorge Rodriguez stated that Venezuela will not hold presidential elections in the immediate period while authorities focus on national stabilisation and rebuilding state institutions. The decision is part of a re-institutionalisation effort to restore full power and recognition to every public institution. Rodriguez said Venezuelans seek a return to normalcy following the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro on January 3. The Venezuelan Supreme Court appointed Vice President Delcy Rodriguez as acting president, and she was sworn in on January 5 with support from the military and the governing party. Presidential terms run six years and the last election was in 2024.
