Regional elections

Last regional election

In the last regional election, which took place on 3-4 April 2005, Nichi Vendola (Communist Refoundation Party) defeated incumbert Raffaele Fitto (Forza Italia). [ [http://elezionistorico.interno.it/listeRegionaliCompleta.php?tp=R&dt=03/04/2005&cta=I&tpEnte=R&tpSeg=R&numEnte=16&sut1=16&sut2=0&sut3=0&descEnte=%20Regione:%20PUGLIA&descArea=&codTipoSegLeader= ::: Ministero dell'Interno ::: Archivio Storico delle Elezioni - Regionali del 3 Aprile 2005 ] ]

The success of Vendola came somewhat unexpected. In a Southern Italian Region, expected to be morally conservative, Vendola, a communist and a homosexual, defeated Fitto, a Christian democrat. Vendola was the first candidate ever to be appointed by its coalition through a primary election instead of agreements between parties. A defeat of Vendola might have resulted in a cancellation of the primary election of The Union for choosing the candidate for Prime Minister in the 2006 general election.
