Political career

Enrquez-Ominami, a fifth district deputy in central Chile, was elected deputy for District 10 in December 2005 for a period of four years. He received the highest vote in the district's history. As deputy, he served on the Science and Technology and Agricultural commissions, as well as presided the Investigating Commission on state-funded advertisement and the Chilean political commission. Around 150 bills have been proposed, some of which have been accepted.

Enr'quez-Ominami said in December 2008 that he was able to compete with José Miguel Insulza and Eduardo Frei in the Concertación presidential primaries. However, Enrquez-Ominami, who claimed that the Concertación leadership modified the primary legislation in order to exclude him from the process, opted to run as an independent. He began collecting nearly 36,000 signatures in order to declare his candidacy without the financial assistance of businessman Max Marambio. For this purpose, he made a lot use of social media Internet pages. In June 2009, he resigned from the Socialist Party in order to meet the legal deadline.

Despite being relatively unknown, Enrquez-Ominami soared in opinion polls quickly, receiving 10% of support by April 2009, capturing the leftist electorate's dissatisfaction with Christian Democrat Eduardo Frei's nomination as the Concertación candidate. He compiled his own list of candidates for the parallel legislative elections, including three lawmakers running for reelection) and supporters of two minor parties that endorsed his candidacy: the Humanist Party and the Ecologist Party. He was one of the top candidates in districts where the Concertación party leaders were competing for seats. Despite his good showing, Enrquez-Ominami came to a short end and was disqualified in the first round of voting with 20.1 percent. His parliamentary list also failed to gain any seats, receiving only 4% of the vote. "Eduardo Frei and Sebastián Piera are too similar to each other," the senator said after the election, "they don't represent hope, neither change, nor the future." Paul Fontaine, the Piera's economic advisor, joined Piera's runoff campaign on December 16. Luis Eduardo Escobar, another one of his economic advisors, joined Frei's staff a week later. Enrquez-Ominami said he would vote for the "candidate of the 29%," but his allies were allowed to vote for Frei.

Enrquez-Ominami ran for Chile's Presidency for the second time in the 2013 General Election, for the second time while representing the Democratic Party. This time he secured third place despite receiving only 10,98 percent of the votes. In the 2017 General Election, Enrquez-Ominami ran for President of Chile. He received 5,71% of the vote and finished fifth among nine candidates.
