2020 Venezuelan National Assembly Delegated Committee election
The 2020 Venezuelan National Assembly Delegated Committee election was to be held in the ordinary session of the National Assembly on 5 January, in which 160 deputies were to elect the legislature's board of directors for the year 2020–21: the president, the first and second vice presidents, the secretary and the deputy secretary. It was the last such election of the IV National Assembly.

The election was disrupted by the security forces physically preventing some opposition members, including Juan Guaidó, as well as members of the media, from entering the National Assembly building in Caracas. The result was two competing claims to the presidency of the legislature: one by Luis Parra, an independent legislator, and one by Guaidó, a legislator from the Popular Will party and a claimant to the country's disputed presidency. Parra was formerly a member of Justice First, but was expelled from the party on 20 December 2019, based on corruption allegations, which he denied. Inside the legislature, Parra was declared president. The opposition disputed this outcome, saying that there had not been a quorum and that the votes had not been counted. Later in the day, a separate session took place at the "El Nacional" newspaper building, where 100 of the 167 deputies voted to re-elect Guaidó as president. Guaidó took an oath of office at a session on 7 January after forcing his way into the building through police barricades. On the same date, Parra reiterated his claim to the presidency.

As of January 2020, Russia is the only foreign government to have officially recognized Luis Parra's presidency, while the United States, Canada, and most European and Latin American countries have recognized Guaido's re-election.
