Recent history

In the 2010 Umbrian regional election the party obtained 4.3% and entered the Regional Council for the first time with a regional councillor, [3] while in 2015 it obtained 14.0% and, despite a reduction of the Council's numbers, two councillors. [4]

In the 2018 general election the party won 20.2% of the vote regionally [5] and in the subsequent municipal election Leonardo Latini, a leghista, was elected mayor of Terni, the region's second largest city. [6]

In the 2019 European Parliament election the party increased its share to 38.2%.

In the 2019 regional election the party fielded Donatella Tesei as candidate for president. She was handily elected with 57.6% of the vote and a 20% lead over its main opponent, Vincenzo Bianconi, who was the candidate of a joint list of the centre-left coalition and the Five Star Movement. [7] The LNT and the "Tesei President" list won a combined 40.9% of the vote. The election ended 49 years of governments led by the Italian Communist Party and its successors.

The party is a tiny one among the national sections of the LN, but it is recently gaining clout.
