Hugo Chavez wins Venezuela re-election
VENEZUELA -- President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has won a third term in office, securing a clear lead over rival Manuel Rosales.
With most of the ballots counted, President Chavez had taken more than 60% of the vote, officials said.
The president, who has secured the support of the poor by using oil to fund welfare, told crowds his left-wing "Bolivarian revolution" had triumphed.
Admitting defeat, his social democrat rival said he would go on "fighting for democracy" in the streets if necessary.
"It's another defeat for the devil, who tries to dominate the world," President Chavez told cheering supporters, mocking US President George W Bush, and sending out a "brotherly" salute to Cuba's President Fidel Castro.
Relations between Caracas and Washington have come under increasing strain in the past few years, with the US accusing Chavez of trying to destabilise Latin America.
Minutes after the preliminary results were announced, Chavez appeared at the balcony of the presidential palace in Caracas.
"Today a new era has started, with the expansion of the revolution," he told tens of thousands of jubilant people.
Venezuela was firmly on the track to socialism, said the president, who has vowed to boost the social programmes that won him support among millions of impoverished Venezuelans.
He now has a clear mandate to rule for the next six years, and is likely to set about reforming the Venezuelan constitution to remove any limits on how many times he can be re-elected.
Late on Sunday Chavez supporters took to the streets to celebrate, letting off fireworks and playing pro-Chavez songs
