Venezuela’s opposition leader Juan Guaido is planning to return to the National Assembly two days after soldiers physically blocked him from seeking re-election as speaker.

President Nicolas Maduro’s supporters then elected one of their allies, in a bid to stop Guaido from taking up the position.

But Guaido’s supporters voted him in at an alternative sitting.

Now both men are gearing up to lead the next parliamentary session – the latest twist in Venezuela’s political conflict.
