His term runs until 2012.
If he's still breathing, he'll still be in office in 2013.
I'm curious to know why he didn't rig this election, when he obviously had the means, the motive and the opportunity to do it. Perhaps he wanted to gauge how much of the country was really behind him. Perhaps he wanted to create the illusion of a free election before his inevitable next absolute power-grab.
What's certain is, his decision not to rig the election to ensure victory had nothing to do with honor or respect for Venezuela's constitution.
