Outcome of the presidential and parliamentary elections in Chile
In the presidential and parliamentary elections on 16 November, the majority of Chileans voted for extreme positions. Jeannette Jara, candidate for the left-wing alliance Unidad por Chile and an active member of the Communist Party since the age of 14, will face the ultra-conservative right-wing candidate of the Partido Republicano, José Antonio Kast, in the runoff election on 14 December. The clear loser of the election is the moderate centre-right alliance Chile Grande y Unido, led by candidate Evelyn Matthei.
