History

Establishment

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 supported José Antonio Kast;[9][10] while the National Libertarian Party supported the candidacy of Johannes Kaiser, all parties in the coalition endorsed Kast in the second round, which he won.[11]

Registration

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]

Composition

The coalition is made up of the following parties:
