In the 2000 parliamentary elections, Borges was elected to the National Assembly, representing Primero Justicia and Miranda State until 2005. Primero Justicia participated in the opposition boycott of the 2005 elections, but Borges was elected again in the parliamentary elections of 2010.

Borges ran for president in the opposition primaries for the Venezuelan presidential elections of 2006, but on 9 August 2006 dropped out to support Manuel Rosales, former governor of Zulia State.[3] Borges was involved in an incident in the National Assembly in April 2013, when violence broke out between PSUV and opposition legislators following the 2013 presidential election. According to Borges, the members of PSUV stood up at the beginning of the assembly and rushed the opposition.[4]

Education

Borges studied law at the Andrés Bello Catholic University, graduating in 1992, and got a master's degree in philosophy at Boston College (1994) and public policy at the University of Oxford (1996).[1][2] He is married, and has four children.[1]

Arrest warrant

In 2020, the Supreme Tribunal of Justice of Venezuela ordered his arrest for allegedly participating in the 2018 Caracas drone attack against Nicolás Maduro. On 13 July 2020, the Attorney General's Office issued an arrest warrant for the alleged crimes of treason,[5] usurpation of functions and association to commit crimes. On 16 January 2023, the attorney general appointed by the Constituent Assembly, Tarek William Saab, announced that the Public Ministry has requested a third arrest warrant against Borges, charged for participating in the 2019 uprising attempt of 30 April.[6]
