Jara won a majority of the vote. Her views have been called center-left and pragmatic.^[4][5] Kast, who came on second, has been seen as more of a right-wing conservative candidate.^[6]

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. ^[7]
