Voters in Chile have overwhelmingly rejected a new constitution which was due to replace the one drawn up under Gen Augusto Pinochet's military rule.

In a referendum, almost 62% voted against the progressive draft.

Chile's President Gabriel Boric, who had backed the new constitution, said he would work with Congress and civil society to come up with a "new constitutional process".

The process to replace Chile's military rule era constitution started three years ago after mass protests rocked the nation, which is normally seen as a haven of stability in the region.
