"Today we are defending the will of the people, they won Nicolas and we will defend our triumph with songs, with joy, with presence and however we have to defend it, Long live the country," Maricarmen Moreno, a Maduro supporter said.
Footage shows demonstrators holding Venezuelan flags and shouting slogans in support of Maduro.
"Maduro's triumph is the triumph of the Venezuelan people,’ Betulio Reyes, another supporter stated.
Felicita Quezada said that "we voted for our president Nicolas Maduro, that is why what we want is peace in our country, the country is not for sale, the country is defended."
Some of those gathered criticised opposition candidate Maria Corina, accusing her of destabilising the country.
‘What she did in the past like putting young people to burn cars, to burn the CDI - Comprehensive Diagnostic Centre - but today we indicate from here, we are restored to Commander Nicolas Maduro.’
Other demonstrators accused the United States, of 'setting up a fascist coup d'etat' and accused Maria Corina Machado of assisting it.
Who intends to proclaim as president a fascist who was a murderer in El Salvador, at the time he was a diplomat in governments of the fourth republic,’ Alberto Gonzalez, one of the demonstrators claimed referring to Maduro's rival Edmundo Gonzales.
Earlier, the National Electoral Council reported that Maduro had 51 percent of the vote to his main challenger's 44 percent. It marks his third consecutive election victory. He has been in power since 2013, while his United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) has governed the country since 2007.
Protests and celebrations have been seen across Venezuela and throughout the world. While Russia, China and others congratulated Maduro, the US said it had 'serious concerns' about the vote. The opposition also claimed it won with more than 70 percent of the votes cast, although did not provide any evidence for the claim.
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.
