Nicolás Maduro is re-elected president of Venezuela.

247, with Venezuelan News Agency - With 92 percent of the votes counted, the Venezuelan National Electoral Council released a tally bulletin indicating the irreversible trend in the results. Nicolás Maduro was re-elected with 5.823.728 votes. His main competitor, Henri Falcon, received 1.820.552 votes.

"A victory for peace and democracy," said Maduro, who, in a speech following the announcement of the results, stated that he was convening a meeting of all political forces to promote national reconciliation.

The president of the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela, Tibisay Lucena, stressed that since the early hours of this Sunday (20), the electoral process has been going smoothly throughout the country.

Tibisay Lucena noted that he received complaints of various kinds, all of which were addressed, and that these were fewer in number than in previous elections. The complaints mainly concerned illegal campaigning near polling stations.

The head of the Electoral Authority highlighted that the campaign teams of the presidential candidates maintained constant communication with the leaders of the National Electoral Council (CNE).

For her part, the general secretary of the Somos Venezuela Movement, Delcy Rodríguez, said at a press conference that the big loser in Sunday's elections was abstention.

"Who was the big loser today? Abstention. We said that the votes would go down in history as anti-imperialist votes. Those who still do not understand the Venezuelan process came out defeated, but above all the extremist sectors of the Venezuelan opposition, who are becoming increasingly isolated," he said.
