Chile Votes: Far-Right Frontrunner Faces Communist Rival in Stark Runoff

Chileans voted Sunday in a presidential election that presents a stark political choice. Polls show far-right candidate Jose Antonio Kast as the strong front-runner. His rival is Jeannette Jara, who leads a leftist coalition and is a longtime Communist Party member. This runoff vote is between Chile's most right-wing presidential contender in 35 years of democracy and a veteran of its communist left. The result will define the country's direction after years of social unrest.
