25 September 2022 at 23:10 Election forecast: The right-wing coalition looks set to win the election in Italy The right-wing coalition with Giorgia Meloni looks set to win the Italian election with between 41 and 45 percent, according to polls. The right-wing populist Meloni, who is party leader in Italy’s brothers, thus looks set to become the country’s next prime minister. The far-right coalition also consists of the parties Ligaen and Fremad Italia. Italy’s brothers have between 22 and 26 percent of the vote at 11 p.m., and therefore appear to be the largest party in this year’s election, polls show according to the news agency Ansa. Meloni could thus become Italy’s first ever female prime minister, but also the first Italian head of state from the far right since the dictator Benito Mussolini ruled the country from 1922 to 1943. Meloni has allied himself with the far-right League party and party leader Matteo Salvini, who like Meloni will crack down hard on illegal immigration. She has also teamed up with the party of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, Forza Italia. Surveys show that turnout has fallen by seven percent. The polling stations closed at 23:00 on Sunday evening. (NTB)
