Mexican former first lady Margarita Zavala, who was running fourth in the polls for the countrys upcoming presidential election, announced Wednesday she is dropping out of the race.
The independent candidate's withdrawal could give a small boost to her fellow conservative Ricardo Anaya, who is in second place for the July 1 vote, as he tries to pull off a come-from-behind win against the leftist front-runner, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
