5-Star Movement (M5S) leader Luigi
Di Maio on Monday shrugged off the failure of the
anti-establishment group's candidate to win Sunday's regional
election on Molise, saying the vote confirmed it was the biggest
single party.
"The parties that represent the centre-right at the national
level, Forza Italia, the League and Brothers of Italy, have just
over 22% together," Di Maio said via social media.
"Our Andrea Greco got over 38% on his own. The 5-Star
Movement has confirmed its position as the region's top
political party.
"(New Governor) Donato Toma was supported by a coalition made
up of nine lists, none of which managed to get 10% of the
votes".
