Maduro elected Venezuella president
Opposition candidate refuses to concede in Venezuela
Henrique Capriles, the candidate of the unified opposition, refused to concede defeat in Sunday`s presidential election in Venezuela and demanded a full vote recount, dpa reported.

"That result does not reflect the country`s reality," Capriles said, referring to the official count that declared ruling party candidate Nicolas Maduro the winner.

"Today`s great loser is you, you and what you represent," he told Maduro.

Capriles further denied having called his rival to propose a pact between the two, as Maduro had claimed.
