This Friday, July 3, 2026 marks the strict legal limit for Delcy Rodríguez’s continued presence in the Executive Branch, a position she took on last January under the figure of temporary absence following the capture of Nicolás Maduro.

According to the limits set by the Constitution, the interim term exhausts—irreversibly—its maximum continuous period of 180 days. Constitutionally, this scenario requires an immediate definition regarding the head of state. The law establishes that the National Electoral Council must be urgently activated to call presidential elections in the shortest time possible, thereby ensuring the restoration of the democratic thread.

Despite the constitutional mandate, the political direction of the coming hours remains uncertain. While the opposition and various legal sectors demand an immediate call to the polls to prevent a power vacuum, the government-aligned sector is considering using the emergency decrees issued after the natural catastrophes of June as a legal argument to extend the provisional term.
