CHILE: No primary elections for right-wing opposition
Chile’s right-wing political parties will not compete in primary elections on 29 June, leaving the stage open for left-wing parties to dominate the election campaign. Evelyn Matthei, the presidential candidate of the right-of-centre opposition coalition Chile Vamos, confirmed as much this week. She said she had tried to no avail to persuade the two far-right candidates, José Antonio Kast and Johannes Kaiser, to compete against her in a primary election but they preferred to advance straight to the first round of elections on 16 November, splitting the right-wing vote three ways.
