Change for Chile (Spanish : Cambio por Chile) is a Chilean electoral coalition between the far-right Republican, Christian Social and National Libertarian parties, created ahead of the 2025 parliamentary election. [1] Before its official registration in August 2025, the coalition was known by the names New Right (Spanish : Nueva Derecha) and United Right (Spanish : Derecha Unida).
On 15 April 2025, three far-right [2] [3] parties (PRCh, PSC, PNL) had announced a preliminary agreement to compete together in the 2025 parliamentary election in a coalition called "New Right". [4] [5] With this decision, the parties closed the door to the option of creating a single right-of-centre list together with Chile Vamos, which sought a rapprochement with all the forces opposed to the government of Gabriel Boric. [6] In July 2025, the parties ratified their intention to form a parliamentary alliance by concluding a pact, albeit renaming it the "United Right". [7] In parallel, the Republican Party opened up to a negotiation with Chile Vamos to reach an omission pact in the senatorial election in the binomial regions (where two senators are elected). [8]
The alliance was not replicated for the 2025 presidential election, as the parties that formed it support different presidential candidates: the Republican Party and the Christian Social Party support José Antonio Kast; [9] [10] while the National Libertarian Party supports the candidacy of Johannes Kaiser. [11]
The Republican, Social Christian, and National Libertarian parties formalized their pact before the Electoral Service (Servel) on 8 August 2025, under the name "Change for Chile". [1] The list announced the presentation of 183 candidates for the Chamber of Deputies. [12]
The coalition is made up of the following parties:
