Piñera announced his candidacy on Tuesday. UDI accepted him as their candidate for the Primaries at their convention yesterday. RN are expected to do the same at their convention today.

Also J A Kast reports that he already has enough signatures to register as a candidate. He needs 38,000 although he aiming for 60,000

Looks to me like Sanchez is catching up with Guillier. I know that there's a long way to go but do Chilean forum members think that a Pinera/Sanchez second round is likely?

Sorry about Goic's color, but I think that yellow fits perfectly with the DC

You were saying that Sanchez was getting an easy ride from pro Chile Vamos media. With a poll like that I imagine that that might change now.

Important, the results mentioned above are the results from Canberra. The consulates of Sydney and Melbourne have not yet published results (these are not officials, the official results will be published tomorrow along with the internal ones, but from what I read the consulates in the other side of the world are counting).
