Credit: Reuters/Jorge Silva By Frank Jack Daniel and Patricia Rondon CARACAS | Mon Sep 27, 2010 3:08am EDT CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez won a majority in parliament but opponents took more than a third of the seats, threatening his ability to pass socialist reforms before seeking re-election in 2012. Election authorities said that the ruling Socialist Party won at least 90 places, and the opposition Democratic Unity umbrella group at least 59, with all but 14 of the 165-member National Assembly seats decided. A third party won another two. The opposition said it had won 52 percent of the national popular vote in Sunday's election. The results of the vote will buoy the opposition's hopes of toppling Chavez at the ballot box in two years' time. "This gives us a lot of political power," said Armando Briquett, spokesman for the umbrella opposition group Democratic Unity. "We are very happy." A baseball-mad former tank soldier who rose from a poor rural childhood, Chavez first tried to take power in a 1992 coup and has only lost one election since he won the presidency at the ballot box in 1998. He has become one of the world's most recognizable politicians, taking the crown from Cuba's Fidel Castro as Latin America's leading critic of Washington and putting swathes of Venezuela's economy in state hands. Though not on the ballot for parliament, Chavez was the dominant figure throughout the campaign, in yet another vote in Venezuela that was essentially a referendum on his rule. While far from an outright defeat for 56-year-old Chavez, Sunday's result confirms the opposition is finally gaining after a long string of defeats and miscalculations during the Venezuelan leader's 11 years in power.
