Pulso Ciudadano: Matthei y Kast son las principales cartas a La Moneda

One of the most interesting topics discussed in the Chilean political sphere is the upcoming presidential election. According to a recent survey conducted by Pulso Ciudadano, Joaquín Lavín, a former presidential candidate, has lost his lead to contenders Evelyn Matthei and José Antonio Kast.

The poll shows that if the election were held today, Matthei, a right-wing candidate, would obtain 19.3% of the vote, while Kast, also right-wing, would come in second with 12.7%. Lavín, who was once a strong favorite, would receive only 9.4%. Interestingly, the poll also revealed that many people remain undecided about their preferred candidate.

These results come ahead of the official start of the campaign period, which will begin on July 1st. The winner of the election will lead Chile for the next four years, following the controversial presidency of Sebastián Piñera.

It is worth noting that Matthei, a former Minister of Labor and Social Security, has already run for president in 2013, but failed to secure the nomination for the conservative coalition. As for Kast, a former MP, he has been gathering support from far-right groups in recent years, but it is unclear if this will be enough to secure him the presidency.

In conclusion, the Pulso Ciudadano poll is an important indication of the country’s political future. The results suggest that the Chilean electorate is looking for a new face to represent their interests, and that Matthei and Kast are the frontrunners at the moment. As the campaign period officially starts next month, we can expect more news and updates on the presidential race in Chile.
