written by Lucas Fernandez – World Editor

SANTIAGO, Chile – Chileans‌ are voting today, November 17, 2025, in a presidential runoff ‌election pitting left-wing former student leader Jeannette ⁣Jara against far-right ex-congressman José Kast. The outcome will determine the direction‌ of the South American nation after a period⁣ of significant political and social ⁢upheaval.Polls closed at 8:00 PM local time (12:00 AM UTC November 18, 2025).

This election represents a⁣ stark choice between ⁤two fundamentally different visions for Chile. Jara, representing the Frente amplio ‍coalition, campaigned on promises of ⁢expanding social programs, rewriting the constitution, and‍ addressing economic inequality. Kast, running as an ‍self-reliant, focused ⁣on⁤ law and order, restricting immigration,‌ and preserving customary values. The election follows a tumultuous period sparked by ‌widespread protests in 2019 over ⁣social and economic grievances,and the subsequent drafting of a new constitution which was ultimately rejected by voters in September ‍2023. The⁤ result will impact millions ⁣of Chileans and potentially ⁣reshape the country’s role in Latin America.

Jara and Kast emerged as the top two candidates from a crowded field in the‌ first⁣ round of voting on October 13, 2025, neither securing the required 50% plus one vote to win⁢ outright. Jara‌ received 35.47% of the vote,while Kast garnered 34.53%.The‌ close results signaled a deeply polarized electorate.

The campaign leading up to the runoff has been marked ⁣by intense debate over issues such as pension reform, healthcare access,‍ and indigenous rights.⁤ Jara has proposed a significant ⁣overhaul of the privatized pension system,while Kast advocates for strengthening private⁤ options. Both candidates have pledged to address crime, but differ on the approach, with ‍Jara emphasizing social programs and Kast⁣ advocating for tougher policing.

Official ⁢results are expected in the coming hours. The winner will serve‍ a four-year term, beginning March 11, 2026.

Sinner Dominates Tsitsipas in Riyadh Debut,Sets Semifinal Clash with Djokovic at Six Kings

Riyadh,Saudi Arabia – ‌Jannik Sinner marked ⁤his debut at ⁤the Six Kings exhibition tournament in ⁢Riyadh‌ with a commanding victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas,winning 6-2,6-3. The win comes after a brief recovery ⁤period for Sinner, who attributed recent cramps in Shanghai to dehydration stemming ⁢from a gastrointestinal virus. He took full ‌responsibility,stating,”The heat and humidity knocked me down,I wasn’t⁣ perfect.”

Sinner, who replaced the‌ injured Draper⁤ in the tournament, expressed confidence in his physical and mental state prior⁣ to the match. ⁢”I feel good,⁤ physically and⁤ mentally,” he said yesterday.He has his sights⁤ set on finishing the year strongly, with Vienna, Paris, and Turin all on his schedule. While defending his Masters title remains a key objective, his participation in both the Vienna ATP 500 and Paris Masters 1000 is still to be determined, with Vienna appearing more likely due‌ to positive memories – including a⁤ 2023 title win secured after ‍a breakfast with his⁣ parents who travelled from Sesto Pusteria.

The Italian’s return to competition follows a season impacted by a three-month⁤ suspension related to Clostebol,‌ during which he ⁢still ‍secured three titles, including ⁤two Majors, in the nine tournaments he has played. Regaining the world No.1 ranking, currently held by Carlos Alcaraz, is ⁤not a primary focus.⁢ Sinner’s priority is a strong finish to the season and a ‌productive ‍off-season to prepare for 2026.

Meanwhile,Alcaraz himself is managing a left ankle injury ⁢sustained in Tokyo,training with a bandage ⁤as a precaution. He used downtime following Shanghai to improve his golf handicap and⁤ finalize a personal logo to⁤ be unveiled⁣ in Turin.

The return of both Sinner and‌ alcaraz signals a shift in the tournament landscape,moving‍ away from recent “fairy tales” and back to a competition ⁣dominated by⁣ the top players. Alongside Sinner and Alcaraz,⁢ the Six Kings tournament features Alexander‍ Zverev, Taylor Fritz, and Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic advanced to the⁤ semifinals with ease, boasting ⁣his⁢ record of 24 Slam titles. His plans for the remainder of the season remain fluid, potentially utilizing ⁢the Six Kings tournament to prepare for the ATP Finals, or‍ capitalizing on⁣ the financial opportunities in⁣ Arabia.Despite suffering from extreme conditions in China, even ‍experiencing vomiting on ‍court, Djokovic reiterated his ⁢long-standing criticism of the⁢ congested tennis calendar, stating,⁣ “Players‍ complain, then disappear, then complain again. If the top players are⁢ not willing ⁢to fight with the⁣ ATP, nothing will ever change.”

sinner ⁣will‌ now face Djokovic‍ in the semifinals, promising a‍ compelling showdown between two of the sport’s leading ‌figures.
