Notes

  1. ^ In case of a woman, the title of "chairman" can take on the form of "chairwoman", "chairperson" or simply "chair", or be replaced by "president".
  2. ^ Maduro's legitimacy as President remains challenged by many within the international community due to concerns around the legitimacy of the 2018 Venezuelan presidential election, despite Juan Guaidó relinquishing his claim to the Presidency on 5 January 2023.
