Editor's Take:
Nicolás Maduro led Venezuela from 2013 until 2026. He started out as a bus driver and trade union leader in Caracas. He rose under Hugo Chávez, serving as foreign minister and vice-president, and Chávez named him as his chosen successor. His years in power saw economic collapse, food shortages and hyperinflation. Around seven million Venezuelans left the country. His election victories were widely disputed, and many governments refused to recognise them. In 2026 he was captured during a United States intervention and taken to face drug-trafficking charges.
