Businessman and centre-right Forza
Italia (FI) House Whip Roberto Occhiuto is to be the centre
right's candidate for governor of Calabria in
mid-September-mid-October, FI leader and former premier Silvio
Berlusconi said Wednesday.
The three-time former premier said Occhiuto would be an
"excellent" governor.
League member and journalist Antonino Spirli is acting Calabria
governor having taken over after the death of FI's Jole Santelli
from cancer in October.
Local elections will be held across Italy between mid-September
and mid-October this year.
