٠٠:٠١:٤٤Venezuelan diaspora in Bogota, Colombia, were seen protesting at a huge event following Nicolas Maduro's historic election victory on Sunday.
"There is no freedom, there is no democracy, we are in a dictatorial regime," alleged one demonstrator, while another added: "we want freedom and death to dictators". Signs including "Venezuelan and I were born to be free" could be seen, as well as large numbers of Venezuelan flags.
Earlier, the National Electoral Council reported that with 80 percent of the ballots counted, Maduro had received 51 percent to his main challenger's 44 percent. He has been in power since 2013, while his United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) has governed the country since 2007.
Maduro's main opponent was Edmundo Gonzalez, a 74-year-old former diplomat. Opposition frontrunner Maria Corina Machado backed Gonzalez after she was banned from taking part amid corruption allegations which she denies. Around 17 million people were eligible to vote.
