Capriles Grows as Opposition Leader in Venezuela Race
Henrique Capriles, governor of Miranda, has lost twice in presidential bids but after a sweeping opposition victory in the National Assembly, analysts say his path to the presidency may open through ballots or a recall vote. Maduro's 55 seats contrast with the 112 won by the opposition coalition. Capriles, 43, has held office since 2008 and has been a persistent figure amid Venezuela's economic crisis and polarization.
