Former Chilean President and current presidential candidate Sebastian Pinera waves before voting during presidential elections runoff in Santiago, Chile, Sunday, Dec. 17, 2017. Former President Sebastian Pinera easily topped last month’s first round presidential election, but his 36.6 percent vote share fell far short of what polls had projected. “It will be the election with the greatest uncertainty in the history of Chile,” said Congressman Pepe Auth, an electoral expert. The scare tactic seems to have backfired by rallying support for Guillier from hard left factions who had been cool on him earlier. “I think we’re going to win by a tight but clear margin,” Guillier said after casting his vote in his northern desert region of Antofagasta.
