Communist candidate Jeannette Jara has won Chile’s leftwing primary with over 60% of the vote, setting up a high-stakes presidential showdown against far-right frontrunner José Antonio Kast—often dubbed the “Chilean Trump.” Jara, backed by a united left, vows to raise taxes on the wealthy and boost job creation, while Kast leads polls with a tough-on-crime, anti-immigration platform.
The race is sharply polarized, as Jara seeks to overcome President Boric’s low approval and rally progressive forces ahead of the November election.
