A left-wing legislator who rose to prominence during anti-government protests in Chile has been elected the country’s next president. With almost 99 percent of polling stations reporting, Gabriel Boric won 56 percent of the votes, compared with 44 percent for his conservative opponent, Jose Antonio Kast. In a model of civility that broke from the polarizing rhetoric of the campaign, Kast immediately recognised defeat, tweeting a photo of himself on the phone with his opponent congratulating him on his “grand triumph”. At 35, Boric is set to become Chile’s youngest-ever president.

Chile’s President Sebastian Pinera has imposed a state of emergency over the Mapuche conflict. The Mapuche, Chile’s largest Indigenous group, have been involved in five centuries of struggle for their ancestral land. Mapuche demands have been mainly met with silence, leading some armed groups to attack trucks and farmland in the last 10 years. With the Chilean president under pressure from right-wing factions in his party, troops are being sent to two southern regions hit by the violence.
