Venezuela’s opposition has voted to dissolve its parallel government and remove its leader, Juan Guaidó.
The move comes four years after Mr Guaidó declared himself president following the re-election of Nicolás Maduro in disputed polls.
He was recognised by many Western countries, including the US, but failed to oust the left-wing president.
The vote shows how most opposition politicians in Venezuela have lost faith in Mr Guaidó.
The National Assembly voted 72 to 29 to abolish his interim government.
Lawmakers also voted to appoint a commission to govern the country’s foreign assets, as they seek a united front ahead of elections scheduled for 2024.
During talks in Mexico, the two issued a joint statement requesting that billions of dollars frozen abroad be released to help fund social projects.
It followed years of failed attempts to solve a political deadlock.
In response, the US said that it would allow the American oil company Chevron to resume some activity in Venezuela.
