TOMORROW around 15 million Chileans will have to vote to select the 50 members of the Constitutional Council that will draft a new proposal for a constitution, after a majority of 62 to 38 per cent had voted to rejected the first proposal for a new and radical Magna Carta on September 4 2022.
Five separate lists of candidates are presented for election. Unity for Chile (made up of the Communist, Socialist, Humanist Action and Broad Front parties) and All for Chile (which brings together two social democratic parties of the Party for Democracy and the Radical Party, and the Christian Democrats) are the two representing the ruling coalition of the Gabriel Boric government.
The opposition lists are formed by the traditional right-wing parties (Renovacion Nacional, Union Democrata Independiente and Evolucion Politica).
