Former leftist student leader Gabriel Boric will be under quick pressure from his supporters to fulfil his promises to remake Chile after scoring a historic victory in the country’s presidential election.

Mr Boric spent months travelling the country, vowing to bring a youth-led form of inclusive government to attack the poverty and inequality that he said formed the unacceptable underbelly of a free market model imposed decades ago by the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet.
