PD Sardinia official quits (2)

(ANSA) - Cagliari, December 6 - The reforms pointman in the Sardinian regional government, Gianmario Demuro, of Premier Matteo Renzi's Democratic Party (PD), quit Tuesday after the crushing defeat in Sunday's Constitutional reform referendum for the Yes vote for which he had campaigned vigorously. Sardinia topped Italy's No vote with 72.22% against the reform passed by the government of Renzi, who decided to resign after the result.
