SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Chilean right-wing presidential front-runner, Jose Antonio Kast, has retained his grip on first place in pre-election opinion polls ahead of leftist Gabriel Boric, as pollsters go into a legal blackout period two weeks before the Nov. 21 election. The Pulso Ciudadano poll, released on Saturday by consultancy Activa Research, had lawyer Kast on 27.3% of the vote versus 23.7% for Boric. In third place was Christian Democratic senator Yasna Provoste with 13.5%. Last week the same study said Kast had taken the lead in its first round poll, but appeared to be behind in a likely second round. If no candidate gets an absolute majority, there would be a vote in December to choose between the top two. The Cadem opinion poll, which surveyed 1,010 people, gave 25% of the vote to Kast and 19% to Boric, a 35-year-old congressman and former student leader.

LIMA (Reuters) - Peruvian left-wing President Pedro Castillo swore in a new interior minister in charge of public safety on Thursday, as he awaits a key vote in Congress on whether to confirm a new Cabinet, his second in three months in office. The new interior minister, Avelino Guillen, is a former prosecutor known for having successfully prosecuted former President Alberto Fujimori, who is serving a prison sentence for human rights violations. Guillen replaces Luis Barranzuela who resigned after allegedly hosting a party on Halloween, while the government had banned social gatherings. The Cabinet is headed by Mirtha Vasquez, a moderate left politician and lawyer. Peru s first Cabinet collapsed last month amid political instability and threats from former Prime Minister Guido Bellido to nationalize the country s natural gas sector. Castillo s presidency, and the Marxist-Leninist party that backed him, has spooked investors and sent Peru s currency to record lows. His new Cabinet is wi
