Background

In the 2019 Piedmontese regional election, the centre-right coalition regained control of the region after its candidate, Alberto Cirio of Forza Italia, defeated the centre-left coalition's incumbent president Sergio Chiamparino of the Democratic Party. In a summer 2023 approval rankings drawn up by Il Sole 24 Ore about Italy's regional presidents, Cirio ranked sixth. [3] In January 2024, the Regional Council of Piedmont approved the decree that dated the Piedmontese election to 9 June 2024. The election in Piedmont is one of the five regional elections in Italy for 2024 and will be held on the same day as the 2024 European Parliament election. [4] [5] The rise of Brothers of Italy, which culminated in the party leading the centre-right coalition and the formation of the Meloni government after the 2022 Italian general election, caused division within the centre-right coalition going into the 2024 Sardinian regional election, where Brothers of Italy obtained their candidate. This put in question the re-election bids of other centre-right coalition's regional presidents, including in Piedmont. [6] [7] In March 2024, Cirio was confirmed as the centre-right coalition candidate. [8]

Among the national and regional opposition, the Democratic Party and the Five Star Movement were divided over the Piedmontese candidate. [9] [10] [11] In the region, both parties had been historically divided, in particular over the issue of the Treno Alta Velocità. In February 2024, the centre-left coalition narrowly won in Sardinia, [12] [13] unseating a centre-right coalition regional incumbent president since 2015, despite a left-leaning independent candidacy, and although it ultimately lost, it was united in the subsequent 2024 Abruzzo regional election. [14] [15] [16] Division within the centre-left coalition ahead of the 2024 Basilicata regional election caused further division for the Piedmontese one. In Basilicata, Domenico Lacerenza, the Five Star Movement's preferred candidate in Basilicata, was forced to withdraw his candidacy, and although the Five Star Movement ultimately reached an agreement with the centre-left coalition, Action and Italia Viva had joined the centre-right coalition, a situation that could repeat itself in Piedmont; [17] Action leader Carlo Calenda said that no decision was made on whether to support Cirio. [18] Additionally, when the Democratic Party, the largest party within the centre-left coalition, announced Gianna Pentenero as their candidate in Piedmont, rather than the rumoured candidacy of Chiara Gribaudo, [19] [20] [21] a deputy from the Democratic Party who alongside Daniele Valle (a member of the Democratic Party and the minority vice-president in the Regional Council of Piedmont) accepted the decision, [22] the Five Star Movement stated that they would not support her, [23] [24] [25] and announced they would field their own candidate. [26] A possible candidate is Chiara Appendino, the Five Star Movement's former mayor of Turin, although they denied it both as part of the centre-left coalition and as their own separate candidate. [27]

Electoral system

In July 2023, the Regional Council of Piedmont approved a new electoral law. [28]

The victory of The Union coalition, which obtained more than two thirds of the vote, was the largest in Italy and Vito De Filippo of Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy, the youngest president of Basilicata and the most voted president of a region in percentage terms, was elected president by a landslide. As part of what became a over 20-year rule of the centre-left coalition, the results in Basilicata reflected their comparison as the political equivalent of the left-wing Emilia-Romagna region in Southern Italy.
