The New Majority (Spanish: Nueva Mayoría) is a Chilean electoral coalition that brings together a group of Chilean opposition parties to the Chilean presidential election, 2013. [1]
Composition
The coalition consists of the four principal parties of the Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia, namely, the Socialist Party of Chile (PS), the Christian Democratic Party of Chile (PDC), the Party for Democracy (PPD) and the Social Democrat Radical Party (PRSD). In addition, the New Majority also includes the Communist Party of Chile (CCP), the Citizen Left (IC), the Broad Social Movement (MAS) and centre-left independents. [1]
Primary elections
The New Majority coalition was registered on April 30, 2013 with the Chilean Electoral Service (SERVEL).[2] The Coalition held its primaries on June 30, where Michelle Bachelet (PS) won with 73% of the vote to become the sole presidential candidate of the bloc,[3] defeating the independent Andrés Velasco, who won 13% of the preferences, to Claudio Orrego (PDC), which stood at 8.86%, and radical José Antonio Gómez, who reached 5.06%.[4]The pact got more than two million votes from a total of three millions of voters - tripling the votes obtained by the Alliance for Chile.[5]
Initially the coalition intended to hold its primary elections on June 30, 2013, however this was annulled because parties failed to reach an agreement regarding their nomination. However, after several negotiations an agreement was reached to commence partial and complete primaries in some districts on August 4, 2013.[6]
