Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s long-time president, has won a second term as President in a traditional. Maduro has remained confident throughout his campaign for re-election despite his special appearance and energetic campaign style.
” Travel rain, shine, or thunder… we’re going to get by a landslide”, he declared in a new state television broadcast, shortly after announcing mock election results that suggested a decisive defeat.
Despite his confidence, Maduro, 61, faces significant challenges. Under his principle, the once prosperous South American nation has endured a protracted economic decline, which has resulted in the emigration of about 7.7 million people. According to a UN special rapporteur, nearly 82 % of Venezuelans live in poverty, with 53 % in extreme poverty.
First living and rise to power
Nicolás Maduro Moros was born on November 23, 1962. Before becoming a trade union president, he began his career as a bus drivers. In 2000, he was elected to the National Assembly. Under President Hugo Chávez, Maduro held some key roles, serving as President of the National Assembly from 2005 to 2006, as minister of foreign affairs from 2006 to 2013, and as Vice President from 2012 to 2013.
Following Chávez’s dying on March 5, 2013, Maduro assumed the presidency.
Maduro was chosen as the applicant for the United Socialist Party of Venezuela in the 2013 specific presidential election, which was won by 50.62 % of the voting. Since 2015, he has had power granted to him by the ruling group government to rule Venezuela.
Problems and conflicts
Under Maduro’s increasingly autocratic leadership, Venezuela apparently has become deeply and maybe fiercely politically divided. Multiple attempts have been made to replace Maduro from business, both legally and through the ballot. The government’s business collapsed, resulting in soaring prices and common shortages of food and medicine.
Despite the tumult, Maduro remained in business, even when his election to a second term in 2018 was challenged by Juan Guaidó, the head of the National Assembly, who declared himself the government’s standing president in January 2019.
