Venezuelan Election Result

Q185: What party will win the most seats in the next Venezuelan parliamentary election?
PSUV: 25%
MUD: 70%
Some Other Party: 5%
(If no election is held before the end of 2016, then this question will be void.)

The next Venezuelan parliamentary election has been scheduled for December 6th (see my previous post here, and story here).  According to most opinion polls, the opposition party MUD is leading the government party PSUV by a considerable margin (see Wikipedia article here).  Given the state of Venezuelan democracy, it is by no means certain that this apparent edge in support will actually translate into more seats in the next election.  However, it certainly seems more likely that MUD will win than the current governing party.  It is also possible that some third party could win the election, but I can find no credible sign of such a party at this point.
