CHILE
BulletEM BulletEmerging Market News
  • Former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet announced that she will not be a candidate in this year’s presidential election, resisting pressure for her to represent the centre-left. Good politics requires new generations to step up, and others should now seek the presidency, Bachelet wrote in a statement published Wednesday by Horizonte Ciudadano.
  • News follows the overnight resignation of interior minister Carolina Toha, who announced that she will run for the presidency. Critics say Toha’s efforts to tackle crime amid a surge in homicides have fallen short. Roughly 59% of the population disapproves of her performance, while 37% support her, according to a Cadem poll published in February.
  • For reference, the first round of Chile’s general election is currently scheduled for November 16, 2025.
