Chile picks Jeannette Jara to face off against right-wing presidential field

  • Jeannette Jara, former labor minister and Communist Party member, won Chile's presidential primaries on Sunday in Santiago with 60.31% of the vote.
  • The primary took place solely among candidates from the government coalition headed by President Gabriel Boric, during a period of intense political division and with voter participation barely exceeding 9%.
  • Carolina Tohá, former interior minister from the Democratic Socialism party, came second with 27.91%, and Jara and rivals called for unity to counter right-wing candidates.
  • A recent Plaza Pública Cadem poll shows far-right candidate José Antonio Kast leads with 24%, followed by Jara at 16% and Evelyn Matthei at 10%, with Kast favored to win hypothetical runoffs.
  • Jara will face right-wing contenders in the November 16 general election, with a December 14 runoff possible if no majority emerges, signaling a contentious and polarized race.
