On Tuesday, March 17, 2026, the ruling coalition secured a majority in 15 of the 27 permanent committees of the Chamber of Deputies, including the key Finance and Constitution committees. The deal reinforced the board agreement, incorporating the DC party, but highlighted a rift between PS and PPD in the opposition.
Chile's Socialist Party secured two seats on the strategic Senate Finance Committee, while Renovación Nacional claimed the most seats across legislative commissions. This agreement, stemming from party negotiations, sets presidencies and memberships for coming years. The commissions were formed after a prolonged session last week.
