Conte says he will run for office

- ROME, DEC 7 - The 5-Star Movement (M5S) president, Giuseppe Conte, said on Tuesday that he will run for office in the next general election to "enter through the main door" rather than via a by-election as had been suggested.
    Conte told the program 'L'aria che tira' on private television channel La 7 that his "political reason" for refusing to run in by-elections to fill a parliamentary seat that has remained vacant is that "a leader that is fulfilling a project has the ambition of running with the M5S in political elections, with a government program to improve society.
    "I would like to enter through the main door", said the former premier.
