Venezuela Presidency and Mayhem
***
Election May 2018 Nicholas Maduro Won Again
Opponents were: Henri Falcon & Javier Bertucci
BUT .... Juan Guaido Interim President? Where'd he come from?

New Election Needed
Juan Guaidó told CNN in February 2019 that he would call elections 30 days after Maduro leaves power. He has not stated if he will run for president when elections occur, but said: "Talking about a presidential candidacy separates him from his role at this time."

The accidental leader: How Socialist Juan Guaidó became the face of Venezuela...
Feb 9, 2019 - Juan Guaidó, is recognized by many nations as Venezuela's president ... just six months ago was unknown by 97 percent of the citizens of Venezuela - then western nations refused to accept Maduro as president ... so the legislature chose the 'Popular Will' party Juan Guaido as president. 

Venezuela: Juan Guaidó
1-15-19, WashPost -- According to Delphos, a Caracas-based polling firm, in mid-December 2018, ninety-seven percent of Venezuelans surveyed had never heard of the lanky, 6-foot-2 politician Juan Guaido.  Four weeks later, nearly 60 percent of the population supported him. Who is Juan Guaidó? He is a 35-year-old Socialist activist politician now interim president of Venezuela recognized by most Western countries. Guaidó — a low-key, baseball-loving engineer elected to congress in 2015. Perhaps the most crucial event in Guaidó’s ascension was a decision on Jan. 4 2019 by Canada and a dozen Latin American countries not to recognize Maduro when he was sworn in for a second term Jan. 10, 2019. Julio Borges, an influential Venezuelan opposition leader exiled in Colombia said, “They [world leaders] didn’t recognize Maduro, so it was clear executive powers had to be transferred to the legislature.”  The next day, the legislature swore in its new leader: Juan Gerardo Guaidó. Popular Will party was to assume the leadership of the Venezuela congress in early January 2019 with many of the party’s officials detained or in exile, Guaidó was chosen as its standard-bearer. “Guaidó’s low-key background helped people trust him, and he also had a good relationship with other parties.”

​Did Venezuela's President Really 'Steal' the 2018 Election; Why wasn't one of the opponents on the ballot chosen as president?
Feb 7, 2019 - Falcon & Bertucci were Maduro's opponents in the May 2018 election. Falcón was an obscure politician (like Guaidó was).  After Falcón lost and Maduro won a second term as Venezuela's president, he insisted on a new vote – why wasn't Falcón recognized?

Wikipedia: As of March 2019, more than 80% of Venezuelans support Guaido in polls as acting president when just three months earlier 97% never heard of him. Article 233 of the Constitution of Venezuela provides that, "when the president-elect is absolutely absent before taking office, a new election shall take place [...] and until the president is elected and takes office, the interim president shall be the president of the National Assembly." After what he and others described as the "illegitimate" Jan 10, 2019 Maduro inauguration, Guaidó challenged Maduro's claim to the presidency. The National Assembly declared Guaidó assumed the powers and duties of president and continued plan to remove Maduro. The US, Canada, Brazil and several Latin American countries support Guaidó as acting president. 
​
IT'S A COUP!
Russia, China and Cuba support Nicholas Maduro as legitimate president of Venezuela and consider the action taken by Juan Guaido a coup. Guaidó denies the coup allegations, saying peaceful volunteers back his movement. In December 2018, Guaidó traveled to Washington D.C. where he met with OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro, and then on 14 January to Colombia for a Lima Group meeting, in which Maduro's mandate was rejected. As of February 2019, Guaidó is recognized as the acting president of Venezuela by 54 countries.
