Venezuela election: Maduro wins second term amid claims of vote rigging
Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro has won re-election to another six-year term, in a vote marred by an opposition boycott and claims of vote-rigging.
Amid food shortages stemming from a severe economic crisis turnout was low.
The National Electoral Council (CNE) put it at just 46% but the opposition alleges it was even lower.
The main opposition candidate, Henri Falcón, rejected the result soon after the polls closed and called for new elections.
