This was not an election for president. It was for Constitutional changes that would have allowed him to stay in office indefinitely, among other things. As a result of the election, Chavez will be barred from running again in 2012. But it appears he can remain in place until then.

He lost the proposed constitutional change that would have allowed him to stay in power indefinitely. He has to leave his office by 2013 (he will be barred from running in 2012).
The vote was pretty close - 51:49. Wonder if he will try to make the change again before leaving office.....

His term of office does not end until 2012, he is president until then.
The election just held, was not a presidential election, it was a referendum vote on changing the Constitution of Venezuela so he could run again when his current term ended.

He did not lose his current position a President. The vote was on a motion to allow him to be President for life. He lost!
