Election of the Constitutional Council in Chile: The right and center right will take full control with 33 seats

Today, May 7th, 2023, Chileans went to the polls to elect the members of the Constitutional Council, in a historic election that has left a bittersweet taste in the ruling party.

The Republican Party, led by José Antonio Kast, has become the great winner of election day, obtaining 36% of the votes and becoming the most voted party in Chile. This result is only comparable with the records of the Christian Democrats in the early 1990s.

The right and the center right have managed to take full control of the Constitutional Council, with 33 of the seats (of the total of 51 members), which allows them to achieve the 3/5 necessary to make important decisions. For its part, the Approve Dignity pact, led by Gabriel Boric, has managed to maintain its pulse and obtain 27% of the votes.

However, the great disappointment of the day has been the very poor performance of the parties of the former Concertación, which have not managed to obtain any seats. This leaves the ruling party in the minority in votes, percentages and seats.

Although the participation figure has been lower than in the Plebiscite, with 16% null votes and 4.5% white votes, this election has been the second most attended in the history of Chile. This shows that Chileans are committed to the democratic process and want to actively participate in making important decisions for the country.

This election has also raised several questions about interest in the process and what will happen in the December exit plebiscite. It is important that citizens are informed and actively participate in electoral processes, so that they can make informed decisions and contribute to the development of a more just and equitable society.
