Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:20:01 +0100 (Reuters) - Presidential candidates Miranda state Governor Henrique Capriles Radonski (R) and Voluntad Popular leader Leopoldo Lopez attend an event in Caracas January 24, 2012. One of Venezuela's best-known opposition leaders, Leopoldo Lopez, has pulled out of the South American nation's presidential race and will back coalition frontrunner Henrique Capriles Radonski instead, sources in both camps said. The center-left state governor Capriles was already favorite to win the Feb. 12 opposition Democratic Unity coalition primary and will be further boosted by Lopez's surprise exit.
