Stefano Bonaccini would be nearly 20 percent ahead of Elly Schlein in the race for the “seat” of the Democratic Party’s new secretary. According to provisional data from the voting of Demos circles that ended yesterday evening, the head of the Emilia-Romagna Region would reach 55% of the vote against 33% of his opponent. In total, the number of members who voted according to this initial general budget was 86,145. Meetings were held in 2,604 neighborhoods. Cuperlo would get 7.72% and De Micheli 3.77. Votes will still be counted in circles in Lazio and Lombardy, which has been extended until next Sunday due to coinciding with regional elections.
The percentages will therefore still be defined, but they reflect data expressed in the circles of the Democratic Party of the Bologna Federation, which includes all municipalities of the Metropolitan Municipality, including the capital city and excluding those in the Imolese region. In Emilia Romagna, Bonaccini garnered 3,029 votes equal to 55.42%, Elly Schlein garnered 1,812 votes equal to 33.15%, followed by Gianni Cuperlo with 538 votes equal to 9.84 percent and Paola De Micheli with 87 votes. 1.59% There were 5,446 valid votes in total.
Looking at the city of Bologna alone, Bonaccini received 1,149 votes, which equates to 47.44%; Schlein 981 votes, equal to 40.50%; Cuperlo 259 votes, equal to 10.69%, and De Micheli 33 votes, equal to 1.36%. There were 2,422 valid votes in total. I was pleased with the commentary on Bonaccini’s result. “The result among members in Bologna is doubly valuable to me – he observed when addressing the democratic members from Bologna – because I know the challenge here is much more difficult than elsewhere and because I saw it every day and in every club, the passion you put in”. Therefore, the district governor continued, “I would like to thank our militants in the municipalities of the province, whose success allowed the resolution to be concluded in such a positive way, and the militants of the city who succeeded. A real achievement on the card that seemed impossible to many. It is really thanks to you – adds Bonaccini – and the most The results with hard work are the best. You are the popular energy I’m talking about and need to instill. The entire Democratic Party and in our country!”
A promising result for Bonaccini, as underlined by Pd MP Andrea De Maria: “The voting moment in circles for the Democratic Party Congress was a good opportunity for participation and democracy in Bologna. to a large number of members, to our volunteers who let congresses take place in circles. Congressional meeting in Bologna. Stefano Bonaccini’s victory was clear. Knowing the orientations in the debate that took place in the Bolognese Democratic Party, better than previous estimates. Bonaccini is by far the most voted candidate with 55.42% The Federation of Bologna (all municipalities of the Metropolitan Municipality of Bologna, including the capital, except those in the Imolese region) and also in the relevant circles 47.44% transferred only to the municipality of Bologna. Now everyone is working for high turnout in the primaries.
