Venezuela is headed toward a decisive election this weekend. For the first time in more than a decade, Chavismo is in danger of losing its majority in legislative elections on Sunday.
The assembly has been dominated by first Hugo Chavez and then Nicolas Maduro's Chavista party members for more than a decade. They solidified their grip on power in 2010, by securing 99 of the 165 legislative seats, they passed reforms benefiting the party during the last legislative election.
