Hugo Chavez Has Died

Hugo Chavez, fifty-eight, has died.

The new came just hours after Venezuela admitted that he was gravely ill.

Chavez ruled the country for fourteen years.

Under Venezuelan law a new election must now take place, within thirty days.

Til that time the Vice President takes over the country.

The election will likely put Vice President Nicolas Maduro against Henrique Capriles Radonski, who ran against Chavez in last year's election.
