In the regional elections in Basilicata, the incumbent president Vito Bardi, candidate of the center-right, secured reelection with over 14 percentage points ahead of his direct opponent Piero Marrese. After receiving congratulations from his center-left challenger, Bardi spoke of "a clear victory" and thanked "the people of Lucania for the trust they have placed in me, for the second time." The final voter turnout was 49.80%. In 2019, when voting took place only on Sundays, it was 53.52%. There was great satisfaction for the center-right coalition: "I sincerely thank all the citizens who chose to confirm their support for our policies," said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. "Your trust is the driving force that pushes us forward every day," stated the Lega party thanking for "another broad success of the united center-right." "The center-right has won. The people of Lucania who have chosen to support our good governance for another 5 years have won," tweeted Vice Premier Antonio Tajani. (Photo by gdf.gov.it)
