Summary: Is being a minister an advantage to those seeking nomination as a presidential candidate? In Chile, leaders who might have presidential aspirations often emerge from cabinets. Several factors could influence this route to candidacy, such as being the visible face of the government, participation in networks, or the fact that voting is influenced by media and social media due to their powerful role in the society, making them an essential element in the formation of new political leaders.

The present article examines the possible dimensions of this link.
