马杜罗连任委内瑞拉总统
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was reelected for a second six-year term in presidential elections on Sunday, according to the National Electoral Council (CNE).
委内瑞拉国家选举委员会宣布，总统马杜罗在周日的总统大选中再次当选。
Maduro was reelected by a wide margin, garnering over 5.8 million votes, Tibisay Lucena, the president of CNE, announced late Sunday.
His closest challenger Henri Falcon got around 1.8 million ballots and the third-place candidate Javier Bertucci got 925,042 votes.
Over 8.6 million Venezuelans went to the polls, putting voter turnout at 46.01 percent, Lucena said.
The announcement was made when the CNE counted more than 92 percent of ballots.
Voting progressed smoothly throughout the day, said Lucena, adding "there were no regrettable incidents" to mar the electoral process.
However, both Falcon and Bertucci denounced alleged voting irregularities minutes before the CNE issued its first official report.
