"Argenis Chávez, the brother of late former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, has been sworn in as the governor of the Barinas state after his predecessor stepped down.
Zenaida Gallardo, who had been governor since Jan. 5, said she stepped down due to medical reasons. Her predecessor was another of Chávez's brothers, Adán.
Argenis Chávez assumed the position on Tuesday through a rule that allows a state's interior minister to take the governorship if he or she steps down.
During a speech after he was inducted, Argenis Chávez said he would never again let political ideologies that oppose the late president's "Bolivarian revolution" rule in his state because "the children of Bolivar and Chávez are willing to give their lives to defend the revolutionary process.""
