Sputnik is live from Caracas as thousands of Venezuelans rally in the streets of the country's capital to celebrate the re-election of President Nicolas Maduro.
Despite the opposition's rejection of the results and claims of a 'coup' attempt linked to the US, Maduro's victory marks his third consecutive term in office.
The election has sparked both protests and celebrations across Venezuela and internationally.

The United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), led by Maduro, has been in power since 2007.
