"This morning I called Alessandra Todde and congratulated her. I told her that we will see each other again in the Regional Council. We really lost by a 'spit', around two thousand votes out of 750 thousand Sardinians who went to vote. The responsibility for the defeat lies solely my".
These are the first words of Paolo Truzzu
, yesterday in silence for the whole day, in a press conference in Cagliari.
"In Cagliari there was more of a vote against myself than for Todde", added the mayor and candidate of the defeated centre-right.
"I sent a message to Giorgia Meloni. But reading the vote is simple: these were not elections influenced by national factors and the data that proves this is the result of Cagliari which, rather than voting for Todde, voted against me. It would be it was enough to have three-four more points to win the entire match."
"This is why I say that the responsibility is mine. There are different Sardinians. We had a great result outside the urban centres. The causes of Cagliari's vote? There are many factors: disjointed vote, construction sites".
1822 seats out of 1844, Todde victory in pectore at 45.3%: gap of 3 thousand votes over Truzzu of the centre-right still at 45%
The centre-left candidate Alessandra Todde obtained 45.3% of the preferences (330,619 votes) and is preparing to become the first woman to lead the island's administration.
There is no official confirmation yet, we will have to wait several more days: for now, given the official numbers, she can boast the title of governor in pectore of Sardinia.
The data, in fact, is still partial: it was updated at 5 this morning and refers to 1822 sections out of a total of 1844. "The counting of the remaining 22 electoral sections (4 in Sassari, 2 in Sorso, 3 in Sestu, 2 in Bonarcado, 3 in Luras, 2 in Musei, 2 in Serdiana, 2 in Silius, 1 in San Gavino Monreale, 1 in Villasor), will be completed, as foreseen by the offices of the Courts of the respective territories", the Region informs in a Note.
Again on the basis of the data uploaded by the municipalities into the regional electoral information system, the centre-right challenger Paolo Truzzu stopped at 45% (327,695 votes) with a difference of around 3000 votes.
Behind are Renato Soru with the Sardinian Coalition 63,021 votes at 8.7%, and Lucia Chessa with 7,147 votes (1%).
