チャベス大統領、接戦で4選
ベネズエラの大統領選でチャベス大統領がカプリレス前ミランダ州知事を破って4選を果たした。
Chavez wins 6 more years in tightest race yet
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez won re-election and a new endorsement of his socialist project Oct. 7, surviving his closest race yet after a bitter campaign in which the opposition accused him of unfairly using Venezuela's oil wealth and his near total control of state institutions to his advantage.
Chavez had more than 54 percent of the vote compared to 45 percent for Henrique Capriles, a 40-year-old former state governor who unified and energized the opposition.
It was Chavez's third re-election victory in nearly 14 years in office. It was also his smallest victory margin. In 2006, he won by 27 percentage points.
Fireworks exploded in downtown Caracas, and Chavez's supporters celebrated, waving flags and jumping for joy outside the presidential palace.
In conceding defeat, Capriles told supporters not to feel defeated.
"We have planted many seeds across Venezuela and I know that these seeds are going to produce many trees," he said in a speech. (AP)
