Signature

Henrique Capriles Radonski (Spanish pronunciation: [enˈrike kaˈpɾiles raˈðonski]; born 11 July 1972) is a Venezuelan politician and lawyer. He was the 36th Governor of Miranda from 2008 until 2017. He is well known for being a political enemy and critic of President Nicolas Maduro.

In 2000, he co-founded the political party Primero Justicia. Capriles became the opposition candidate at the 2012 and 2013 presidential elections. He ran against President Hugo Chávez and Vice President Nicolás Maduro.

His loss in 2013 caused controversy as he said the election was a fraud and that Maduro rigged the election.^[1]

On 5 April 2017, Capriles was formally banned for 15 years from political activity.^[2]
