Forza Italia

Roberto Roscioli of Forza Italia and the centre-right has won the mayoral by-election in Reggio Calabria, leading with around 53% of the vote as counting progressed. Governor Roberto Occhiuto celebrated the result, while senator and general Roberto Vannacci failed in his bid to shake up the centre-right with his Futuro Nazionale list. Turnout collapsed to 22.34%, underlining voter disillusionment in the city.

New Italian political polls reported by Il Fatto Quotidiano indicate support falling for both Lega and Forza Italia, while General Roberto Vannacci's presence fails to lift the right-wing bloc's overall standing. The numbers fuel debate over the centre-right's trajectory and whether Vannacci can translate his personal popularity into electoral gains for the coalition.

New Italian political polls indicate Lega and Forza Italia losing support, with the fall of the right partly offset by General Roberto Vannacci, whose presence continues to draw votes and attention. Il Fatto Quotidiano highlights that Vannacci alone is not enough to reverse the right's decline, sparking debate about his potential political role and the balance of power within the centre-right ahead of upcoming electoral contests.

Centre-right leaders are meeting to choose a joint candidate for the upcoming Milan municipal elections, but remain divided. Forza Italia and Fratelli d'Italia are pushing for Matteo Perego, while the Lega and Maurizio Lupi resist. Other names in play include Silvia Sardone and Lupi himself, with only one candidate set to face the centre-left.
