Vita gazette – The centre-right wins the regional elections in Abruzzo 2024. The now definitive results reconfirm the outgoing governor, Marco Marsilio, with 53.5%, which leads the centre-left challenger, Luciano D’Amico, by 7 points, stuck at 46,48%.

After the regional round in Sardinia, we went to vote in Abruzzo. One million two hundred thousand those entitled to vote had to choose between the outgoing President, Marco Marsilio (centre-right), and the challenger, Luciano D’Amico (centre-left). The counting began when the polls closed on the night between Sunday and Monday.

The turnout in the elections was 43.93%

 The definitive voter turnout figure in Abruzzo’s regional elections is 43.93%, slightly higher than the previous elections’ turnout of 43.03%.

As we have seen, the right won half of Abruzzo, just as the opposition won half of Sardinia. The constant in both elections or the winner, was the percentage of those who did not go to the polls. This significant half does not vote and leaves the decision-making task to others. These people govern Italy, unconsciously or involuntarily.

Marco Marsilio wins the elections.

The ballot counting in Abruzzo has concluded. Even if there are still a few sections left to be scrutinised, the result is clear: Marco Marsilio wins the elections and is reconfirmed as leader of the Abruzzo Region with 53.50% of the preferences, while Luciano D’Amico stops at 46.50%.

Marco Marsilio: “Another wall has been knocked down”

“Thanks first. The people of Abruzzo have chosen to give me the honour of leading the Region for another five years; never in the previous 30 years had an outgoing administration been confirmed for a second mandate. A history page has been written, and another wall has been knocked down.”

Meloni: “In Abruzzo, the centre-right confirms its majority”

“Marco Marsilio is the first President in the history of Abruzzo to be reconfirmed by the voters for a second term – Meloni wrote on social media -. And it is a source of great pride for us that the citizens of Abruzzo wanted to continue to trust him and, with him, to trust the centre-right, which confirms itself as the majority. It is a trust that, as always, we will not betray. We will continue to work to give Abruzzo and Italy the place they deserve. Thank you!”.

Tajani: “It is a confirmation of our fundamental role”

“The great success of the centre-right in Abruzzo confirms the citizens’ positive opinion of our good government. Excellent result from Forza Italia! It is a confirmation of our fundamental role. Congratulations to the Azzurri from Abruzzo. We dedicate the victory to Silvio Berlusconi.” Thus, on X, the deputy prime minister and leader of FI Antonio Tajani.

Calenda: “All things considered, an excellent result for us”

“Stock closes at 4%. Considering the type of election, which requires alliances that are not easy for us, the absence of regional councillors and the presence of civic lists is an excellent result. I congratulate the Abruzzo party and Giulio Sottanelli”. So, on X, the leader of action is Carlo Calenda.

Fratelli d’Italia confirms itself as the leading centre-right party

List votes Fratelli d’Italia confirms itself as the leading centre-right party; the Democratic Party in the centre-left. The Abruzzo elections provide two pieces of data: the success of Forza Italia, which significantly increased preferences compared to five years ago and surpassed the League; The 5 Star Movement, which lost 17 points.

The race continues

The vote in Abruzzo is the second time at the polls of the year – after Sardinia, which saw the victory of the centre-left candidate Alessandra Todde – and it will certainly not be the last. After Abruzzo, it will be the turn of Basilicata and further on to Piedmont until the autumn when Umbria will vote.
