U.S. oil refiner Citgo Petroleum Corp said on Friday its board elected Jose Pocaterra, its newest member, as chairman of its board of directors.

Pocaterra, a finance executive who joined the Citgo board a month ago, replaces former Chairperson Luisa Palacios, who stepped down in October and remained a director.

The Houston-based company is owned by Venezuela, but its leadership split with the government of President Nicolas Maduro, whose 2018 reelection was widely denounced as a sham. Its board is confirmed by Venezuelan lawmakers who recognize Juan Guaido as the country’s legitimate leader. Maduro accuses the opposition of “stealing” Citgo and considers Guaido a U.S.-backed puppet.
