Chile's New Constitution Drafting Council Dominated by Right-Wing Parties.
TL;DR Summary
Chileans voted for a 50-member commission to draft a new constitution after rejecting a proposed charter last year. The far-right Republican Party, led by José Antonio Kast, led in the vote count with 35%, followed by left-leaning Unity for Chile with 28% and center-right Safe Chile with 21%. The vote is seen as a referendum on center-left President Gabriel Boric's government, which has an approval rating of around 30%. The commission's proposal will be put before a plebiscite in December.
