Musumeci 35%, Cancelleri 34%-projection (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, November 6 - A projection based on 10% of the votes cast in Sunday's regional election in Sicily puts centre-right governor candidate Nello Musumeci on 35%, just ahead of the 5-Star Movement's Giancarlo Cancelleri on 34%.
    Fabrizio Micari, the candidate backed by the ruling centre-left Democratic Party (PD), was on 20%, while Claudio Fava, whose ticket was supported by several small leftwing parties, was on 9%. The PD conceded defeat late on Sunday when exit polls suggested it was not in the running to win.
    The Sicilian elections are seen as a key test ahead of a national general election early next year.
