Former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet resigned from her position at the United Nations to return to her homeland ahead of elections in November.

Bachelet, constitutionally banned from running for a second consecutive term, took a break from politics to lead UN Women, a gender-equality agency created in 2010, the same year she left office. She remains her country’s most popular politician.
