A coalition led by Giorgia Maloni, leader of the Fratelli d’Italia (post-fascist) faction, which also includes the League, the far-right formation of Matteo Salvini, and Forza Italia, the conservative formation of Silvio Berlusconi, win the Italian parliamentary elections with 41-45% of the vote, which is enough for a parliamentary majority, according to the first exit polls announced after the end of voting.

An exit poll conducted for state broadcaster RAI shows that a bloc made up of these conservative parties will receive between 41% and 45% of the vote, enough to guarantee control of both houses of parliament.

Italy’s electoral law favors political groups that manage to form pacts before elections, giving them far more seats in parliament than the number of votes they receive.

The final results of the parliamentary elections are expected on Monday morning.
