After instant polls and exit polls, the first projections also highlight the great victory of the center right in the 2023 regional elections. In particular, Swg, during the Mentana Marathon that is broadcast on La7, provided data from Lombardy. With a coverage of 9% we note the great success of Attilio Fontana, outgoing governor, who collected 52.3% as a candidate for Lega, Fratelli d’Italia and Forza Italia. Almost twenty points behind the candidate who united the Democratic Party and the 5 Star Movement: Pierfrancesco Majorino, the name that found the agreement of Enrico Letta and Giuseppe Conte, stops at 34.7%, collecting about one voter in three who went to the polls in the region where the center-right already ruled. Weak candidacy for Letizia Moratti, former vice-president of Fontana during the last regional council meeting: candidate profile of Italy Viva ed Azione finds only 10.6% approval in the first Swg screening. Even with a hypothetical single candidate from the so-called “broad field”, Fontana would be ahead of his opponent.
