Venezuela’s acting President Nicolas Maduro was elected Hugo Chavez’s successor Sunday with 50.66 percent of the vote, while opposition rival Henrique Capriles earned 49.06 percent, election officials said.<\/p>\n

“These are the irreversible results that the people have decided,” National Electoral Council president Tibisay Lucena told a news conference, announcing a much closer victory for Maduro than expected.<\/p>\n

“Today we can say that we had a fair electoral triumph,” Maduro said after the council said he had won 50.66 percent of the vote as compared to 49.06 percent for opposition rival Henrique Capriles.<\/p>\n
