Delcy Rodríguez continues serving as Venezuela’s acting president after her initial 90-day mandate expired in early April 2026, following the January U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro. The National Assembly, controlled by her brother Jorge Rodríguez, has delayed debates on extending her role or scheduling elections, while she consolidates power through military command changes and purges of Maduro-era officials. U.S. sanctions relief in April and formal recognition of her authority have supported oil-sector reforms and investor outreach, though she continues pressing for broader sanctions removal to stabilize the economy. Polling indicates the opposition would prevail in any early vote, yet no transition timeline has been set, leaving her interim status dependent on legislative action and external diplomatic signals in the coming months.
