They were the fourth parliamentary elections to take place after the 1999 constitution, which abolished the bicameral system in favour of a unicameral parliament, and the first to take place after the death of President Hugo Chávez. Despite predictions from the opposition of a possible last-minute cancellation, the elections took place as scheduled, with the majority of polls showing the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) holding a wide lead over the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and its wider alliance, the Great Patriotic Pole (GPP). The political landscape leading up to the elections was heavily influenced by the severe economic crisis faced by the country, as well as a series of protests that took place in 2014, after which former Chacao mayor and leader of Popular Will, Leopoldo López, was detained and sentenced to 14 years in prison. The scarcity of basic goods and high inflation were the central topics of discussion, with each party blaming their opponent as the cause. Introducing economic policies to counter the crisis, as well as granting amnesty to political prisoners, was the main campaign pledge of the MUD. The ruling PSUV, on the other hand, ran a campaign focused on overcoming what they called an "economic war" led by the right-wing against the Venezuelan people, as well as defending the legacy of Chávez and the social policies introduced during his presidency. The result was a decisive defeat for the Chavismo, which lost control of the Assembly for the first time since 1999. The MUD, composed of politicians opposed to the government of both Chávez and his successor, won 109 seats, and with the support of the three indigenous representatives, gained a supermajority of 112 seats against 55 won by the GPP. In terms of popular vote, the MUD received 7.7 million votes, an increase of 2.4 million from the 2010 elections, becoming the most voted party in Venezuelan electoral history. In comparison, the GPP only managed to gain an additional 200,000 votes, to total 5.6 million votes. Background Since the 1999 Constitutional Assembly elections, the National Assembly was dominated by alliances supportive of President Hugo Chávez. In the 2005 parliamentary elections, most opposition parties decided to withdraw, resulting in all seats being won by the Fifth Republic Movement and other parties supportive of Chávez. For the 2010 elections, an alliance of opposition parties was formed by the Democratic Unity Roundtable to contest the elections, and managed to win 64 seats. The PSUV, which was an alliance formed by Chávez from the Fifth Republic Movement and a number of smaller parties, won 96 seats, maintaining their majority, but lost their two-thirds and three-fifths supermajority. Fatherland for All, a small left-wing party, won two seats.Divulgación Elecciones Parlamentarias – 26 de Septiembre de 2010 http://www.cne.gob.ve/divulgacion_parlamentarias_2010/ 9 April 2015 es After Chávez's death in 2013, his hand-picked successor Maduro was narrowly elected president, continuing Chávez' ideological influence.Oner Imdat 2021-02-02 Nicolas Maduro: A populist without popularity - ECPS https://www.populismstudies.org/nicolas-maduro-a-populist-without-popularity/ 2024-08-19 en-UShttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-22220526 Nicolas Maduro sworn in as new Venezuelan president BBC News 19 April 2013 9 April 2015 In 2015, the Democratic Unity Roundtable alliance aimed to improve its result from last time and end the incumbent PSUV government,Cawthorne Andrew Pons Corina Venezuelan opposition head seeks 2015 vote gains, and 'Caribbean Norway' https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-opposition-idUSKCN0HV1Q020141006 9 April 2015 Reuters 6 October 2014 while Maduro said he had faith in the voters giving the government a large majority.Maduro rejects speculation he'll suspend Venezuela elections - Salon.com http://www.salon.com/2015/03/05/maduro_rejects_speculation_hell_suspend_venezuela_elections/ 9 April 2015 AP 5 March 2015 16 April 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150416125448/http://www.salon.com/2015/03/05/maduro_rejects_speculation_hell_suspend_venezuela_elections/ dead Protests 2014–15 Venezuelan protests In 2014, a series of protests and demonstrations began in Venezuela.

The program focused on using Facebook as a means of building support for the opposition; a database of voters was collected and targeted advertising on social media was utilized to swing government supporters vote for the opposition. The NED said that the program was necessary to combat the Venezuelan government's control of the media in Venezuela and that social media was less susceptible to censorship. The project was first implemented in the 2013 Venezuelan municipal elections and determined to successfully interact with more voters, with the program subsequently being used for the 2015 parliamentary elections. The NDI claimed credit for the opposition's victory in the elections. Results The MUD won 109 of the 164 general seats and all three indigenous seats, which gave them a supermajority in the National Assembly, while the GPP won the remaining 55 seats. Voter turnout was just over 74 percent. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-12-06/venezuelans-to-vote-in-polls-seen-handing-congress-to-opposition Venezuela Opposition Won Majority of National Assembly Seats 7 December 2015 Bloomberg 7 December 2015 The Great Patriotic Pole coalition led by the PSUV received 5,625,248 votes (40.92%) in the party-list vote.
