After seven failed rounds of the presidential election, the acting head of the Italian state, Sergio Mattarella, agreed to run again and won more votes than the absolute majority.
Despite his statement that he would not run anymore, Italian President Sergio Mattarella once again declared his candidacy for head of state. The 80-year-old received 759 votes in the eighth round of voting, and thus passed the absolute majority with 505 votes.
The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Robert Fico stated that 983 deputies and deputies voted. No one has abstained. 90 votes went to the former prosecutor, Carlo Nordio, who was supported by the extremist party, Fratelli d’Italia.
The other prosecutor, known as the mafia hunter Nino di Matteo, received 37 votes.
After a few days of statehood, some parties had petitioned Mattarellas to drop his non-candidacy statement.
According to Italian media, it was the Prime Minister, Mario Draghi who had spent several days convincing Matarella to stay in office. Even the leader of the opposition Lega, Matteo Salvini had asked Mattarella to stay in post.DW
