Jose Antonio Kast won the presidential elections in Chile on Sunday.

Kast obtained an impressive percentage of 58% of the votes in the second round, against the left-wing candidate supported by the government, Jeannette Jara, who received 42% and quickly acknowledged her defeat.

This was Kast's third candidacy for the presidency, after losing to the leftist president Gabriel Boric in 2021. Once considered too extreme by many Chileans, Kast has attracted voters increasingly concerned about crime and immigration.
