Right-wing politician Kaiser announces his bid for the presidential elections in November, Chile
Chilean Presidential Election: Kaiser Joins Kast and Jara in Race
The upcoming presidential elections in Chile, scheduled for November 16, 2025, are shaping up to be a highly polarized contest between right-wing and left-wing candidates. The frontrunners in this race are José Antonio Kast, a conservative veteran politician, and Jeannette Jara, a leftist candidate from the Communist Party.
Kast leads the polls, emphasizing security, immigration control, and economic issues, while Jara, a former labor minister, won the center-left primary decisively and is backed by a coalition including the Communist Party and the Christian Democrats.
Other notable candidates include Evelyn Matthei, a conservative ex-mayor, competing for third place, and economist Franco Parisi, another right-leaning contender. The full field of eight candidates includes additional candidates from various parties, but they have less polling momentum than Kast and Jara.
A historic moment was described by the PNL as Johannes Kaiser, leader of the National Liberty Party, submitted his candidacy for the presidential elections. The registration of Kaiser's candidacy was announced by the PNL on their X social media account. Kaiser will be competing against Kast, Jara, and the other candidates for the presidency of Chile.
The election reflects a sharp political polarization in Chile between far-right and left-wing options. A runoff election is expected on December 14 if no candidate wins outright in the first round.

The presidential elections in Chile, scheduled for November 16, 2025, are witnessing the addition of Johannes Kaiser as a candidate, representing the National Liberty Party in the race that also includes conservative candidate José Antonio Kast and leftist Jeannette Jara. This election, shaping up to be a highly polarized contest, will also involve policy-and-legislation discussions in the realm of politics, as evidenced by the candidates' focus areas, such as security, immigration control, and economic issues for Kast, and labor concerns for Jara, who has backing from the Communist Party and Christian Democrats.
