History[]
The Democratic Unity Roundtable was formed on 23 January 2008 as a coalition of political parties opposed to the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), and in September 2010 they won 47% of the national vote, although they only gained 64/165 seats due to changes in population-vote distribution. The MUD, as it was known in Spanish, won a majority of seats in the National Assembly on 6 December 2015 in a parliamentary election.
