- President Nicolás Maduro has won Venezuela's presidential election, according to partial results announced by the electoral council.
The head of the National Electoral Council (CNE), Elvis Amoroso - who is a close ally of Mr Maduro - said that with 80% of ballots counted, President Maduro had 51% of the vote, compared to 44% for his main rival.
The Venezuelan opposition dismissed the CNE's announcement as fraudulent and promised to challenge the result. Full article Hopefully it gets sorted out peacefully. Based on the polls, seems like Maduro is going to use his power to "fix" these results. Your thoughts? | |

| As the viral phrase says, peace was never an option. It's only a question whether it'll be just riots or full scale civil war. | |
