In November 1973, two months after the military [[coup d'état]] which ousted the government of President [[Salvador Allende]] Enríquez-Ominami and his family were expelled from the country via a military decree, and barred from entering the country for the next ten years. His father, who stayed in the country to organize and lead an underground résistance against the [[Augusto Pinochet]] dictatorship, was assassinated in October 1974 by [[Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional|DINA]] agents who uncovered his secret location in [[Santiago, Chile|Santiago]].<ref name="marcobio"/>

In December 2008, Enríquez-Ominami said he was available to compete with [[José Miguel Insulza]] and [[Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle|Eduardo Frei]] in the [[Concertación]] presidential primaries. However, after claiming the Concertación leadership changed the primary rules in order to bar him from the process, Enríquez-Ominami decided to run as an independent. With the financial support of businessman [[Max Marambio]], he began the process of collecting nearly 36,000 signatures needed to register his independent candidacy. He made extensive use of [[social networking]] Internet sites for this effect. In June 2009 he resigned from the [[Socialist Party of Chile|Socialist Party]] to meet the legal deadline.
Despite being relatively unknown, Enríquez-Ominami quickly rose in opinion polls, garnering 10% of support by April 2009, capturing the leftist electorate dissatisfied with the choice of Christian Democrat [[Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle|Eduardo Frei]] as the Concertación candidate. For the parallel [[2009 Chilean parliamentary election|legislative elections]], he launched his own list of candidates, which was split between independent candidates (including three lawmakers seeking reelection) and members of two minor parties that supported his candidacy: the [[Humanist Party (Chile)|Humanist Party]] and the [[Ecologist Party (Chile)|Ecologist Party]]. He placed the strongest candidates in districts where Concertación party-leaders were vying for seats. However, though he made a strong showing, Enríquez-Ominami ultimately fell short and was eliminated in the first round of voting with 20.13% of the vote.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://elecciones.gob.cl/Sitio2009/index.html|language=Spanish|accessdate=2009-12-17|publisher=Ministerio del Interior|title=2009 Elecciones|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110617113006/http://elecciones.gob.cl/Sitio2009/index.html|archivedate=2011-06-17}}</ref> His parliamentary list also failed to win any seats, obtaining a low 4% of the vote.
