Venezuelan state television on Sunday announced that dissident opposition legislator Luis Parra is the new head of the congress.

The Venezuelan opposition had said that they would not be seeking the reelection of the self-proclaimed president Juan Guaidó.

According to the opposition statement they have decided to move forward without Guaido, as his corruption and failures have worsened their cause.

The parliamentarians declared themselves in revolt against Guaidó for having used the presidency of the parliament as a personal project to enrich himself.
