Chile: Choice between far-right or leftist presidential candidates

World Today

 

Chileans go to the polls on Sunday to decide their next president. The run-off is between ultra-conservative candidate Jose Antonio Kast and 35-year-old leftist Gabriel Boric. 

It’s the first time since the return to democracy in 1990 that Chileans will vote for candidates outside the traditional centrist coalitions which alternated power over the past 30 years.
