Jeannette Jara has won 60% of the vote in Chile's left-wing coalition primaries, becoming the first communist to be elected as presidential candidate. Former interior minister Carolina Toha came second with 27%. Jara, a 51-year-old lawyer, is known for her flagship reforms, including reduced working hours and pension reform. Presidential elections will be held in November, and Jara will face right-wing candidates. It remains to be seen how he will build his campaign to attract votes.
