CARACAS -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez admitted his defeat in a weekend referendum aimed at expanding his powers, in a media conference broadcast live.
Voters marked "no" on 51 percent of the valid ballots cast on Sunday, compared to 49 percent who supported Chavez's reforms, the head of the National Electoral Council, Tibisay Lucena, told media.
"I don't feel sad, no, I don't feel sad," Chavez said, stressing that there were "minimal differences" in the final result.
