Political leaders and coalitions in Venezuela are intensifying demands for the interim administration to establish a definitive presidential election schedule. 

On October 10, Andrés Velásquez of the La Causa R party called for the immediate publication of an electoral timeline, accusing the government of using delays to maintain control and cause economic instability. He compared the current institutional paralysis to the period following the 1958 removal of Marcos Pérez Jiménez.

By October 23, the Alianza por Venezuela (AVE) coalition joined these calls, demanding a “precise and upcoming” date for elections through ongoing political dialogues. AVE coordinator Noel Álvarez stated that the coalition would present this demand to opposition representative Dinorah Figuera. The coalition criticized the administration led by Delcy Rodríguez for stalling tactics following the capture of former leader Nicolás Maduro by United States authorities ten months prior. While Figuera suggested elections might occur between late 2027 and early 2028, the AVE maintains that a definitive schedule is necessary to facilitate institutional reforms to the National Electoral Council and the Supreme Tribunal of Justice.
