Omar Enrique Barboza Gutiérrez (born 27 July 1944)[1] is the president[2] of the Venezuelan political party Un Nuevo Tiempo ("A New Era"), in opposition to Nicolás Maduro.

In February 2009 a constitutional amendment to remove term limits on public offices in Venezuela was approved by 54% of voters in the 2009 Venezuelan constitutional referendum. Barboza said "We're democrats. We accept the results," to The Associated Press,[3] but claimed that the results were skewed by Hugo Chávez's broad use of state resources to win the vote, through state-run news media, political pressure on 2 million public employees and frequent presidential speeches (cadenas) which all television stations in Venezuela are required to air, and added that "Effectively this will become a dictatorship."
