Outcome of M5S Sicilian primaries suspended by court (2)

(ANSA) - Palermo, September 19 - A Palermo court on Tuesday suspended the outcome of the 5-Star Movement's primaries in Sicily, which saw Giancarlo Cancelleri elected the anti-establishment group's governor candidate via an online poll. The court confirmed a decision taken provisional earlier this month. The move follows an appeal by activist Mauro Giulivi, who was excluded from the so-called 'Regionarie' for allegedly failing to sign an M5S code of conduct in the necessary time frame. The court said the activist's rights had been damaged. The Sicilian regional elections take place November 5.
    Cancelleri said he will remain the M5S's governor candidate. "Cancelleri was, and will be, the M5S governor candidate," read a post on the blog of the movement's leader Beppe Grillo.
    He added that "we are out of time" to hold new primaries, asserting that the deadline to present the symbol linked to the electoral list is Saturday.
