Chile has become the latest country in Latin America to veer toward the right, electing a deeply conservative veteran politician who has long attracted comparisons to Donald Trump.

As Chileans prepare to vote in a presidential runoff between a communist and a hard-right veteran politician, the man who has emerged as the election’s biggest power broker has refused to support either candidate.

In Chile, a hard-right former lawmaker and admirer of U.S. President Donald Trump is leading in the presidential runoff.

Chile is bracing for a tense presidential runoff after a first-round vote on Sunday set up a showdown between a member of the Communist Party and an ultraconservative veteran politician, sharply polarizing the country between the political left and right.

Chilean Communist Jeannette Jara, the country’s former labor minister, has won the primary election for left-wing parties with surprising ease, beating out a more moderate rival to clinch over 60% of the vote.
