Nicolás Maduro

President of Venezuela from 2013 to 2026

Nicolás Maduro Moros is a Venezuelan politician and former union leader who served as the 53rd president of Venezuela from 2013 until his capture in 2026 to face drug trafficking charges to which he pleaded not guilty. Originally elected democratically following the death of Hugo Chávez, he shifted toward authoritarian rule, with political analysts eventually classifying his government as a dictatorship in 2017. A member of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), he served as the vice president of Venezuela from 2012 to 2013 and as minister of foreign affairs from 2006 to 2012.

Cilia Flores

Cilia Adela Flores de Maduro is a Venezuelan lawyer and politician who served as the first lady of Venezuela from 2013 to 2026, as the wife of Nicolás Maduro, the 53rd president of Venezuela. A member of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, she served as president of National Assembly of Venezuela from 2006 to 2011. On 3 January 2026, she and Maduro were captured and extracted out of Venezuela following the United States intervention, resulting in their de facto removal from power.
