The United Socialist Party of Venezuela (Spanish: Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela, PSUV, Spanish pronunciation: [peˈsuβ]) is a left-wing to far-left socialist political party which has been the ruling party of Venezuela since 2007. It was formed from a merger of some of the political and social forces that support the Bolivarian Revolution led by President Hugo Chávez.
At the 2015 parliamentary election, PSUV lost its majority in the National Assembly for the first time since the unicameral legislature's creation in 2000 against the Democratic Unity Roundtable, winning 55 out of the National Assembly's 167 seats.[12] In the 2020 elections however, amid a widespread opposition boycott, they won back a supermajority of the chamber.[13]
... the result of the parliamentary election in 2015 was a decisive defeat for the left-wing United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), which lost control of the Assembly for the first time since 1999.
