If this trend is confirmed -which seems to be unshakable- both will go to a ballot on December 19 next.
According to the data published by the Electoral Service (Servel) on its website, 23,270 polling stations out of a total of 46,639 (49.62%) were scrutinized, the Pinochetist Kast (Christian Social Front) had 932,252 votes (28.64%) , while Boric (I Approve Dignity) had 795,689 (24.44%).
In third place is the right-wing populist Franco Parisi, with 13.67% (33,436) and very close to the center-left Yasna Provoste, with 13.65% (33,380).
Fifth, the official candidate Sebastián Sichel, with 11.31% (27,669); Sixth, Marco Enríquez-Ominami, 6.56% (16,036) and Eduardo Artés 1.35% (3,311).
The president of the Chilean Socialist Party, Álvaro Elizalde, announced tonight the support of that force for the candidacy of the leftist Boric in the ballot December 19 next.
Elizalde acknowledged that Yasna Provoste, the presidential candidate for that force, a member of the New Social Pact – heir to the former Concertation that governed Chile for five presidential terms since the return of democracy – failed to convince the Chilean people.
“The result shows that the calculation is led by the far-right candidate, who not only constitutes a threat to democracy. It also constitutes a threat to the daily life of all Chileans.”
“We believe that his eventual government (of Kast) would be even worse than that of Sebastián Piñera and would generate a picture of instability precisely due to initiatives that go against the interests of the national majorities, and particularly that would harm the quality of life of many Chileans and Chileans throughout the territory, “said Elizalde.
He acknowledged the defeat of his candidate, who he said was the best alternative to the dilemma that the country had to face, and announced that “we want to call all Chileans to vote in the second round for the candidate Gabriel Boric.”
