In Venezuela's recent municipal elections, the ruling party, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), secured a dominant victory by winning 285 mayoralties, while opposition parties captured 50. The elections were marked by a 44% voter turnout and were largely boycotted by the opposition, which criticized the process for lacking guarantees and fairness. The PSUV consolidated its control over most municipalities, including regaining the city of Maracaibo. The opposition maintained control over several key municipalities in Caracas such as Baruta, Chacao, as well as San Diego, Maneiro, and Lechería. The electoral process has been described by President Nicolás Maduro as "impeccable" and "intact," signaling the closure of an electoral cycle. Reports from various sources highlighted the high abstention rate and the consolidation of a unipartidist government in Venezuela amid widespread opposition rejection and citizen indifference.
