Centre-right governor
candidate Donato Toma looks set to win Sunday's regional
election in the southern region of Molise, the first major test
of voter sentiment since last month's inconclusive general
election.
Toma, who was supported by both Forza Italia (FI) leader
Silvio Berlusconi and League chief Matteo Salvini during the
election campaign, was ahead with 44.22% after the counted was
concluded in 354 of the 394 voting sections.
Andrea Greco of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5s)
had 37.93% of the vote, while the Democratic Party's woes
continued, with centre-left candidate Carlo Veneziale way back
with 16.5%.
