Hard-right candidate Jose Antonio Kast wins Chile presidential election

Jose Antonio Kast won Chile's presidential election on Sunday, leveraging voter fears over rising crime and migration to steer the country in its sharpest rightward shift since the end of the military dictatorship in 1990.

Kast secured 58.30% of the vote in a runoff with leftist candidate Jeanette Jara, who was at 41.70%, with more than 95% of the ballots counted.

"Democracy has spoken loud and clear," Jara said as she conceded. "I have communicated with Jose Antonio Kast and wished him success for the good of Chile."
