Venezuela’s Chavez Wins Vote on Re-Election
-------------------------------------------



Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez won a referendum vote on Sunday to
remove term limits, paving the way for him to run again in 2013.
Electoral authorities said 54 percent of voters approved the
constitutional amendment to remove term limits for all politicians.
Chavez held a victory celebration in Caracas last night.

Hugo Chavez: “The Venezuelan people today radiate their light and
democratic, revolutionary virtues to the entire world. Let the world see
this light and the people of Simon Bolivar."
