Chile election: Conservative Piñera elected presidentBBC, Dec 18, 2017
A conservative billionaire and former president, Sebastián Piñera, has won Chile's presidential election run-off.
Left-winger Alejandro Guillier conceded and congratulated his opponent on his win and his return to the presidency after a four-year gap.
With nearly all votes counted, Mr Piñera has polled more than 54%.
It is a clear move to the right for the country, which is currently led by socialist President Michelle Bachelet. She had backed Mr Guillier.
About 14 million were eligible to vote in the ballot, including Chileans living abroad for the first time.
