Buenos Aires, November 16 (NA) – The Republican Party candidate for president of Chile, José Antonio Kast, expressed confidence in reaching the runoff election, which is being held this Sunday. However, the presidential candidate assured that he will “support any list” that is opposition to the ruling party's list in case he does not make it to the runoff. Kast made these remarks while voting at a school in Paine, on the outskirts of Santiago, Chile. When asked who would advance to the second round, he replied: “h7VCCwYo, the position I have stated throughout this time is the clearest and most direct I could give, which is that if I do not make it to the second round, I would immediately give my support to whoever is on a list different from the Government that today directs the country's destiny.” He stated that “Chileans are very clear that they want alternations in the country's system of government.” “And what, in my judgment, the majority of the citizenry expects is unity, unity to face the problems that afflict us today, which are problems in the area of security,” he said after voting.
