Nicolas Maduro wins Venezuela presidential election
Socialist candidate Nicolas Maduro has won a narrow victory in Venezuela's presidential poll.
Mr Maduro called for those who had not voted for him to "work together" for the country.
Mr Maduro, who was chosen by the late Hugo Chavez as his successor, won 50.7% of the vote against 49.1% for opposition candidate Henrique Capriles.
The electoral commission said the results were "irreversible".
There has been no public comment from Mr Capriles, who earlier on Sunday has suggested there was an attempt to doctor the result.
Mr Maduro's supporters launched fireworks in the capital, Caracas, after the result was announced, while opposition voters banged pots and pans, the Reuters news agency reports.
Mr Maduro, wearing the colours of the Venezuelan flag, told a rally of supporters in front of the presidential palace that he had won a "just, legal and constitutional" victory.
However, the margin of victory was far smaller than that gained by the late President Chavez over Mr Capriles at elections last October.
