After Chávez's death, Capriles ran again in the 2013 snap election against Nicolás Maduro. He lost by a narrow margin of 1.5%, alleging electoral fraud and leading protests.

The Venezuelan government disqualified Capriles from holding public office for 15 years, citing alleged administrative irregularities during his governorship. This barred him from future elections.

Cook became the leader of the Commonwealth Liberal Party in 1913, succeeding Alfred Deakin. He led the party to a narrow victory in the 1913 federal election, forming a minority government that lasted until 1914.

Joseph Cook became Prime Minister of Australia in June 1913, leading a Liberal government. When World War I broke out in August 1914, Cook's government declared Australia's support for Britain and began military preparations, but he lost the subsequent federal election in September 1914.

Cook retired from the House of Representatives in 1921, after serving as a member since federation. He was later appointed as a member of the Australian delegation to the League of Nations and served as High Commissioner to the United Kingdom from 1921 to 1927.
