Venezuela's interim president Delcy RodrÃguez
Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodríguez has announced that a presidential election will be held as part of a transition to full democracy, but did not specify a date.
Speaking at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Rodríguez said the Venezuelan people would determine the right moment when to hold it.
The opposition in Venezuela has slammed her for not setting even a tentative date for an election.
Critics of her government have long denounced the 2024 election, after which Nicolás Maduro was declared president and she vice-president, as fraudulent and say they have vote tallies to back up their claim.
Rodríguez was sworn in just days after Maduro, was seized by US forces and taken to New York to face drug-trafficking charges.
She has enjoyed the backing of the Trump administration despite her previously close ties to Maduro.
