The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Jorge Alessandri, said he would be willing to run for the UDI presidency if the timing works. He also reiterated his support for the constitutional accusation against former minister Nicolás Grau.
Jorge Alessandri, a UDI member since 2005, indicated that several party leaders have proposed he run for its presidency. The election is scheduled for January. Alessandri noted that his current role as president of the Chamber of Deputies has a one-year term and that the timing does not currently align with a candidacy. He added that leading the party would be an honor. Regarding the constitutional accusation against former Finance Minister Nicolás Grau, Alessandri said he will not sign it due to his position, but he will vote in favor. He urged the UDI to support the initiative to prevent a divided ruling coalition.
