Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, son of former president Eduardo Frei Montalva and candidate of the Christian Democratic Party (PDC), faced Ricardo Lagos Escobar, representing the Socialist Party (PS), the Party for Democracy (PPD), the Radical Party (PR), and the Chilean Social Democracy Party. After the primary on May 23, a convention on May 30 confirmed Frei Ruiz-Tagle as the coalition's candidate. In the December 1993 election, he won the presidency with 57.98% of the vote, one of the highest margins in Chilean history. Definition of candidacies Towards the end of 1992, pre-candidates began to emerge within the Concertación for the 1993 presidential election. The government encouraged the coalition parties to agree on a common candidate, following the strong results achieved in the 1992 municipal elections.http://e-spacio.uned.es:8080/fedora/get/bibliuned:DerechoPolitico-1993-38-14200/PDF Las elecciones municipales de 1992 en Chile Revista de Derecho Político 1994 2017-03-18 2016-08-13 https://web.archive.org/web/20160813033157/http://e-spacio.uned.es:8080/fedora/get/bibliuned:DerechoPolitico-1993-38-14200/PDF dead For the Christian Democratic Party, civil engineer Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, son of former President Eduardo Frei Montalva, was proposed. Although he entered politics in 1986, he had been elected as a senator for Santiago Oriente in 1989 and was serving as president of the PDC. Frei Ruiz-Tagle quickly prevailed over other potential candidates, such as Gabriel Valdés and Andrés Zaldívar, and was officially proclaimed on December 13, 1992.http://historiapolitica.bcn.cl/resenas_parlamentarias/wiki/Eduardo_Frei_Ruiz-Tagle Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle bcn.cl 2017-03-18 2017-05-02 https://web.archive.org/web/20170502145939/http://historiapolitica.bcn.cl/resenas_parlamentarias/wiki/Eduardo_Frei_Ruiz-Tagle dead Meanwhile, in the leftist sector of the Concertación (led by the Socialist (PS) and Party for Democracy (PPD)), Ricardo Lagos, a lawyer and economist, resigned from the Ministry of Education on September 28, 1992, to run as a pre-candidate. The Radical Party (PR) initially proclaimed Senator Anselmo Sule as its presidential candidate on August 15, 1992; however, he later withdrew in favor of Lagos.Murió Presidente del PRSD, Anselmo Sule http://www.emol.com/noticias/todas/2002/06/07/87229/murio-presidente-del-prsd-anselmo-sule.html 7 June 2002 El Mercurio 18 March 2017 17 September 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160917150038/http://www.emol.com/noticias/todas/2002/06/07/87229/murio-presidente-del-prsd-anselmo-sule.html dead Campaign and election 250px|thumb|Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle and other Concertación members in 1993 The Concertación formed a commission of politicians—Genaro Arriagada (PDC), Erich Schnake (PPD), Benjamín Teplizky (PR), and Hernán Vodanovic (PS)—to study methods for selecting its presidential candidate. Known as the "Teplizky Commission," it presented eight possible procedures to the coalition parties on 8 January 1993. The chosen method combined primary elections for registered party militants and adherents with a convention of 3,000 delegates, 60% elected based on primary results and 40% appointed by the Frei and Lagos campaigns according to the 1992 municipal election results.https://www.agendapublica.uchile.cl/n7/4.html Las primarias como mecanismo de candidatos.
