Caracas mayor pulling out of poll
The mayor of Caracas in Venezuela says he is withdrawing his candidacy for re-election in local elections, amid opposition concerns about the poll.

Alfredo Pena says that what he calls "massive state fraud" is being planned.

On Friday the Organisation of American States and the Carter Center, led by former US President Jimmy Carter, both announced they would not be sending observers to the regional elections.

The Carter Center, in particular, has been heavily criticised by Venezuela's opposition, after it repeatedly ratified the victory of President Chavez in the August referendum as free and fair.
