The composition of the National Electoral Council (CNE) of the country for 2023-2030 was approved by Venezuela's National Assembly on Thursday.

In a post on X, the Assembly, which is Venezuela's parliament, announced the "Appointment of Elvis Amoroso, Rosalba Gil, Carlos Quintero, Acme Nogal, Juan Carlos Delfino as members of the Presidium of the National Electoral Council approved by a qualified majority."

According to the assembly, Amoroso, who previously served as a Comptroller General of Venezuela, was appointed as chairman of the newly composed electoral council.  

The CNE will be in charge of supervising and ensuring the transparency of all Venezuelan elections and referendums and will be comprised of five members.

Earlier in July, the President and Deputy of Venezuela's National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez announced that Caracas will not authorize the EU to get involved in Venezuela's 2024 presidential elections by sending an electoral observation mission to monitor the elections.

The official had said during a session at the assembly that this decision was made concerning the behavior of members of the European Parliament, noting that they have acted rudely by meddling in the country's internal affairs. 

"The future of Venezuela is decided by Venezuelans (...) no electoral observation mission from Europe will return here; they will not return because they are rude and colonialist," Rodriguez said, adding that Caracas will "formally tell them that we do not have time to consider their request."

This comes after the European Parliament slammed the alleged "arbitrary and unconstitutional" move to disqualify MPs in the country, which has been plagued for years by US mercenaries.

The EU further called for "fair, free, inclusive, and transparent elections."  

Following these accusations, the Assembly unanimously approved the passing of a resolution aimed at repudiating the fifth Resolution No. (2023/2780/RSP) on "political disqualifications in Venezuela" which was endorsed by the EU.
