Chilean communist Jeannette Jara won the primary vote for left-wing presidential candidates on Sunday, vaulting past a more moderate favorite in a surprisingly strong last-minute surge.
Former Labor Minister Jara got 60.5% of the vote, followed by onetime Interior Minister Carolina Toha with 27.7%, electoral body Servel reported with 93.7% of ballots counted. Gonzalo Winter won 9% and Jaime Mulet garnered 2.8%.
