Sebastián Piñera and Alejandro Guillier, Chile’s presidential candidates, are ending their campaings Thursday
Both the billonaire and the former news anchor have rallies scheduled this evening in Santiago, the country’s capital.
Mr Guillier’s will take place in front of the presidential palace at 6.30pm. 30 thousand supporters are expected to show up.
Mr Piñera chose Teatro Caupolicán, a venue in Central Santiago, to address approximately 5 thousand people.
Guillier will have José “Pepe” Mujica as a guest, Uruguay’s former president, who called for unity among Chilean progressives.
Mr Guillier has also received the support of several key faces from Chile’s third political force, Frente Amplio (Broad Front).
On the other hand, the businessman has reminded the public of the support he received from Liliana Tintori, wife of the Venezuelan opposition leader, Leopoldo López. Today, Mr Piñera also received Mauricio Macri’s backing, Argentina’s president.
Nevertheless, and even though Mr Piñera said Patch Adams himself supported him, the doctor took to Twitter to state that he “does not support him” because he does not like his political views for the country.
Abstention, analysts say, will increase in comparison to November’s election, as only 46% of those allowed to vote went to the polls, which makes the result of the process uncertain, with both coalitions carefully playing their cards until Sunday.
