BRASILIA/SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Two of Brazil's most popular opposition leaders will join forces on Saturday, a party source told Reuters, an unexpected alliance that could pose a major challenge to President Dilma Rousseff in next year's election.

Marina Silva, a colourful former environment minister who is running second in polls for next year's vote, will announce she is joining the PSB Party of Pernambuco state Governor Eduardo Campos, a PSB source said on condition of anonymity.
