flag Chile’s president-elect José Antonio Kast, backed by a conservative wave, vows strict security and mass deportations of undocumented migrants.

flag Chile’s president-elect José Antonio Kast, who won 58% of the vote in December 2025, campaigned on strict security policies and pledged to deport 336,000 undocumented migrants. flag His victory, fueled by public concern over safety and disillusionment with traditional elites, reflects a broader conservative backlash following the 2020 social protests. flag Kast, a devout Catholic with nine children, emphasizes life’s sanctity from conception, opposes abortion and leftist constitutional reforms, and has faced violence for his views. flag While he has not outlined a clear cannabis policy, his administration is expected to maintain a tough stance, stalling reform efforts. flag Political analysts note increased turnout due to restored compulsory voting may have amplified a disconnect between voters and leaders, underscoring a shift toward populism and skepticism of established institutions.
