Italy exit poll: big win right block by Giorgia Meloni

The right-wing bloc, led by Giorgia Meloni, is believed to have won the Italian parliamentary elections on Sunday. Meloni could become the country’s first female prime minister. According to the exit poll by news agency ANSA, the partnership of Fratelli d’Italia, the right-wing nationalist party of Meloni, Lega and Forza Italia received between 41 and 45 percent of the vote.

Of those three, ‘Brothers of Italy’ (22-26 percent) has become by far the largest. Together they could occupy between 227 and 257 of the 400 seats in the Chamber of Deputies.

On the center-left, where no alliance has been made by the parties, Enrico Letto’s Partito Democratico is expected to be the largest at 17 to 21 percent.
