5.49pm
Over 40% of the sections scrutinized in Sardinia, Truzzu always ahead
After more than 10 and a half hours from the start of the counting, the official data on the regional elections in Sardinia does not reach 50% of the sections examined and stops at 44.4% or 819 out of 1844. The still partial data sees the candidate's advantage reduced of the center-right Paolo Truzzu at 46.7%, while Alessandra Todde of the center-left recovers something and currently stands at 44.3%.
Always behind Renato Soru with his Sardinian Coalition at 8.1% and Lucia Chessa with Sardigna R-existe at 0.9%.
In the meantime, however, the results - always partial - for the individual lists are starting to emerge: the Democratic Party stands at 14.2% for now, followed by Fratelli d'Italia at 13.5%, Forza Italia at 8.2 , while the 5 Star Movement at 7.7% with the League which, however, currently stops at 4%.
5.47pm
Irritation of Todde staff, 'Region does not upload large city data'
There would be a "very specific communication strategy" behind the delay in uploading the data of the large cities, Cagliari, Sassari and Quartu Sant'Elena, into the Region's portal with the official results.
Some members of Alessandra Todde's staff are convinced of this.
5.26pm
Conte goes to Cagliari: 'Todde deserves our embrace'.
Schlein is also leaving
"I'm leaving, whatever happens I want to hug our Alessandra Todde".
Thus Giuseppe Conte intercepted by ANSA, leaving for Cagliari.
"There weren't many who imagined such an open challenge in Sardinia. It's a photo finish, the result is a close call and can be decided by a handful of votes. Whether you win or lose, however, it will still have been a extraordinary result and Alessandra Todde deserves the embrace of our entire community for the great work done."
The secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein is also leaving for Cagliari to follow the counting of the elections.
4.51pm
Given that large cities are slow, Todde leads Cagliari-Sassari
Paolo Truzzu ahead by almost four points (47.4%) according to the Region's portal where the official electoral data for the regional elections in Sardinia are uploaded.
But the uploading of results is slow and, in many cases, several numbers relating to large cities are missing and which are struggling to reach the data processing centre.
The municipalities where the counting seems to proceed more quickly are faster.
On the institutional website of the municipality of Cagliari, with 108 sections scrutinized out of 173, the leader of the center-left coalition Alessandra Todde is still ahead with 53.41%, while Truzzu follows with 34.31%.
Renato Soru stops at 10.73% for now and Lucia Chessa at 1.55%.
In Sassari, again according to the data published on the municipality's website where 87 out of 140 sections have been uploaded, Todde is ahead with 53.62%, while Truzzu is at 36.18%.
Behind Soru with 9.56% and Chessa with 0.64%.
4.23pm
Almost 30% of the sections scrutinized, Truzzu ahead
Almost 30% of the sections scrutinized (28.3%) after 9 hours from the start of the ballot counting operations: Paolo Truzzu of the centre-right is ahead in the electoral competition for the regional elections in Sardinia.
The mayor of Cagliari and FDI exponent has so far obtained 47% of the preferences, while Alessandra Todde of the centre-left is stuck at 44%.
Between them a distance of 5 thousand votes, according to official data from the Sardinia Region.
Renato Soru reaches 8% while Lucia Chessa stops at 1%.
Data continues to arrive slowly.
3.40pm
Oristano and Olbia drive Truzzu's comeback, regional data still sees Truzzu ahead by 1%
While in Cagliari Alessandra Todde remains widely ahead of the gubernatorial candidate in Sardinia Paolo Truzzu, current mayor of the island's capital, in the cities of Olbia (historic stronghold of Forza Italia) and Oristano the result of the count seems to be driving the comeback of the Fdi exponent .
If the regional data stops at 436 sections scrutinized out of 1844 (23.6%) with Todde at 44.6% and Truzzu 46.5%, in Oristano (18 sections out of 36) the mayor of Cagliari is ahead with the 47.12% of the preferences obtained so far while the leader of the wide traction field Pd-M5s stops at 39.25%.
In Olbia the gap is smaller: Truzzu is at 51.6%, while Todde is at 42.37% Todde, when they were counted.
Obviously these are still very partial data which must be consolidated during the evening, while the uploading of the numbers onto the regional portal is very slow.
