Venezuela Election Results: GPP Wins Big, but Opposition Secures Key Positions

Venezuela's Regional and National Assembly Elections: A Landslide Victory for the Great Patriotic Pole, but Opposition Voices Remain. Caracas, Venezuela – The May 25, 2025, regional and National Assembly elections in Venezuela concluded with a resounding victory for the ruling Great Patriotic Pole (GPP). The GPP secured 23 out of 24 governorships and a substantial majority in the National Assembly. However, the elections also saw the successful campaigns of several opposition candidates, a notable aspect of the electoral process. "This election demonstrates the strength of Venezuela's democratic system," stated a government official. One of the prominent opposition figures elected is Henrique Capriles Radonski, who secured the governorship of Nueva Esparta State. President Nicolás Maduro extended his congratulations to Capriles and other opposition winners, emphasizing the importance of national unity and collaboration. This gesture of reconciliation suggests a willingness to engage in dialogue and cooperation across the political spectrum. The elections, despite the GPP's dominance, showcased a degree of political diversity and a commitment to the democratic process. The inclusion of opposition voices in the legislative process signals a more inclusive political landscape in the country.
