While the nationwide results for governors, mayors and councilors will not be known until later Sunday night, and final results may not be known for another week, the vote for Chile’s constitutional convention has been tallied and announced this Sunday night.

In a surprise for Chile’s left and independent parties, the center-left Apruebo list has received 24 seats while the left-wing Communist-Broad Front Apruebo Dignidad list has finished in second with 28 seats.

With three milion votes counted, representing just 15% of the registered electorate, the Nueva Constitución list has received 9 seats whereas the Del Pueblo list has received 21.

17 of the 155 seats have been reserved for indigenous people and 15 other seats have been won by a mix of other independent parties.
