Venezuela Elections: Democratic Unity Wins, Marks The End Of the Revolution?

It's the end of the revolution for the Venezuelan people as Democratic Unity won by a landslide in the national elections on Sunday. This was the first time that another party will lead the country in a long while, as former President Hugo Chavez's group continued to reign even after his demise.

According to the Daily Mail, the opposition defeated the dominance of the United Social Party, who took control of Venezuela for almost 16 years. Democratic Unity Roundtable now has the jurisdiction of the National Assembly and has the right to change President Nicolas Maduro's controlling programs.

The Democratic Unity alliance won 99 seats against the Socialist union's 46, for National Assembly's 167 seats, according to the election board. Supporters of the opposition group promptly celebrated the minute the winning party was announced by bringing light to the sky with fireworks.

Unfortunately, the government's campaigners disapproved the commemorations by ruining the opposition's victory parties. However, the 53-year-old state leader accepted his defeat and released a speech.

"We are here, with morals and ethics, to recognize these adverse results," Maduro said in his nation address. The politician accused the "business leaders" and his rivals for his loss and destroying the country's financial system.

He added that the "economic war" against him won as he lost. The agitation in the country ended when Marudo accepted his defeat. However, citizens think that this could lead to another riot just like the election in 2013 that killed 43 people.

Meanwhile, CNN added that the Henrique Capriles, the governor of Miranda, celebrated as he seen cheerfully shouting, "Venezuela, we won!" The 43-year-old lawyer said: "I always told you all, this was the way! Humility, maturity, and serenity. Long live the people of Venezuela!"

Jesus Torrealba, the executive secretary of MUD, said that the result was a conquest for the democracy. He told the chanting crowd in an assembly at MUD headquarters in Caracas that this was a historical success for them that can bring change to their home country.

Maduro, on the other hand, acknowledged the downfall of his party, but still promised to continue what the late Hugo Chavez started, and that was to build a "socialist" nation. He admitted their defeat and gave everyone the guarantee that he will honor the election's outcome.

"I feel at peace with my conscience because everything we have done has been for the protection of the country," he said.
