💨 Abstract
In Chile, José Antonio Kast, an ultra-conservative former lawmaker, is expected to win the presidential runoff against communist candidate Jeannette Jara. Kast's lead in polls indicates a shift in Chile's political landscape, with his hardline stance on immigration and crime resonating with voters despite his radical ideas. Jara, while initially popular for her welfare measures, has shifted her focus to security issues to compete with Kast.
