During his campaign, Kast focused on public security and immigration control, proposing mass deportations of undocumented migrants, construction of maximum-security prisons, stricter sentencing laws, and deployment of military forces to high-crime areas.

Kast will face a divided Congress when he takes office on March 11, 2026, as his Republican Party lacks an absolute majority in either the lower house or the Senate, requiring him to negotiate with moderate forces to advance his legislative agenda.

The election marks the first time since Chile's return to democracy in 1990 that a conservative government with ties to the Pinochet era will hold power, as Kast campaigned for General Augusto Pinochet's continuity in the 1988 plebiscite.

Kast's victory is viewed as part of a regional trend toward conservative leadership in Latin America, joining recent electoral successes in Argentina, Ecuador and Bolivia, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio congratulating him on shared priorities.
