Paolo Truzzu, Cagliari mayor and
defeated centre-right candidate for Sardinia governor, said
Tuesday his Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, led by Premier
Giorgia Meloni, would weigh whether to ask for a recount of
Sunday's wafer-thin election result after a court rules on the
issue.
"In Cagliari alone there were 1,000 spoiled ballots," said the
mayor, who lost by about 0.3% to the centre left's Alessandra
Todde, a bigwig in the leftist populist 5-Star Movement (M5S)
and now Sardinia's first woman governor after the success of the
'broad field' alliance with the centre-left Democratic Party
(PD).
The FdI says there were irregularities in voting in a small town
near Sassari in the north of the island and another small town
in southern Sardinia.
