CHILE: Guillier seeks to get up and running
Alejandro Guillier registered his presidential candidacy for Chile’s ruling left-wing coalition Nueva Mayoría before the electoral authorities (Servel) on 4 August ahead of November’s general elections. Guillier was accompanied to the Servel headquarters by around 1,000 supporters including the presidents of six of the constituent parties of the Nueva Mayoría supporting his candidacy. The seventh party, Democracia Cristiana (DC), which is presenting its own presidential candidate, Carolina Goic, is embroiled in infighting. But Goic, who had threatened to withdraw her candidacy, has confirmed that she will remain in the race.
