Chilean right-wing parties won a majority of votes on Sunday to elect advisers to draft a new constitution, marking a sharp shift from a progressive majority that drafted a failed first constitutional rewrite.
With 95.13% of ballots tallied, Chile's Republican Party, led by former conservative firebrand presidential candidate Jose Antonio Kast, secured nearly 35% of the vote.
"Today is the first day of a better future, a new start for Chile," Kast, who lost to Boric in 2021, said during a speech in Santiago. "Chile has defeated a failed government." The constitutional advisers elected on Sunday will start drawing up a new constitution in June based on a draft compiled by 24 constitutional experts appointed by Congress in March. Voters will then approve or reject the new proposal in December.
It was considered one of the world's most progressive constitutions, but many voters found it too polarizing and theBoric, who took office last March, rose to power on a wave of optimism surrounding reform, but hisBoric also suffered a political defeat after throwing his weight behind the first rewrite, which was. The president has since distanced himself from the process but vowed to support it.
