💨 Abstract

Chile will hold a presidential runoff on Sunday, with José Antonio Kast, an ultraright candidate, favored over leftist Jeannette Jara. Kast, backed by other right-wing figures, leads due to economic convergence and a focus on security and migration. Jara, despite moderating her stance, struggles with low approval ratings from the outgoing government. The election is marked by polarization, with both candidates converging on many issues despite ideological differences.
