    Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido speaks during an interview for Reuters, in Caracas, Venezuela, December 6, 2022.

In a second hearing, the Venezuelan opposition backed the removal of Juan Guaido's self-proclaimed "interim government", which he has led since 2019.

"Total votes: 72 votes in favor, 29 votes against, eight abstained," Jose Antonio Figueredo, the secretary of Venezuela’s National Assembly, said on Friday.

On December 22, the Venezuelan opposition voted in favor of dismantling the self-proclaimed "interim government" led by Guaido.

According to US media reports, during a meeting with US State Department representatives in October, the Venezuelan opposition stated that it would not support Guaido's "interim government" and was considering distancing itself from Guaido, although the so-called "interim government" was the US own making. 

Venezuela was thrown into a political crisis in January 2019 when Juan Guaido, the former head of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, backed by the US, declared himself interim president in an attempt to depose re-elected President Nicolas Maduro.

The United States and most Western countries backed Guaido and imposed crippling sanctions on Venezuela, while Russia, China, Turkey, and a number of other countries backed Maduro.

In October, the Venezuelan opposition's political parties discussed plans to oust the US-appointed opposition leader Juan Guaido, according to The Financial Times.

Venezuelan opposition party allies have decided on proceeding without Guaido, a US-installed "interim president" placed in position by a coup. The decision was revealed by a senior member of one of the opposition parties.

The parties which backed the decision are Primero Justicia, Accion Democratica, and Un Nuevo Tiempo. 

According to the report, Guaido could be removed as an opposition leader within the next 2 weeks. Most opposition parties believe that Guaido and his administration are at odds with reality in Venezuela.
