Chile is holding a presidential runoff election on Sunday, December 15, 2025, between left-wing Jeannette Jara and right-wing José Antonio Kast. The election is occurring amidst deep polarization and growing concerns about security and immigration. Kast, representing the Republican Party, is predicted to win, signaling a potential conservative shift for Chile, following similar trends in other Latin American countries. While Jara received the most votes in the first round, Kast is expected to consolidate right-wing votes in the runoff. The main issues driving voters are a surge in violent crime, attributed to international criminal networks, and the presence of over 300,000 undocumented migrants.
