2025 Chilean general election

General elections were held in Chile on 16 November 2025. Voters went to the polls to elect the President of Chile, renew all 155 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, and fill 23 of the 50 seats in the Senate. Since no presidential candidate won 50% of the vote in the first round, a runoff election was held on 14 December 2025 between the top two finishers: Communist Party member Jeannette Jara and Republican Party candidate José Antonio Kast. Kast would go on to win the election in a landslide victory, winning 58% of the vote.

Jara won a majority of the vote. Her views have been called center-left and pragmatic. Kast, who came on second, has been seen as more of a right-wing conservative candidate.

In the December run-off, Kast defeated Jara with 58% of the vote, the second-highest percentage of the vote since Chile's transition to democracy. Kast received over 7 million votes, which was the highest ever vote total in Chile's history. He won in all regions of the country.
