Acquaroli Re-Elected in the Marche as Autonomists Lead in Valle d'Aosta Count

Distinct regional rules steer the Marche to continuity, Valle d'Aosta to coalition talks.

Overview

  • Francesco Acquaroli won a second term in the Marche, with projections and partial returns placing him above 51% and his rival Matteo Ricci conceding.
  • Giorgia Meloni hailed the result as confirmation of the centre-right’s governance, as national leaders had campaigned heavily in the region.
  • Turnout declined in both contests, with about 50.01% in the Marche and 62.98% in Valle d'Aosta, down notably from 2020.
  • In Valle d'Aosta, partial tallies show Union Valdôtaine and allied autonomist lists near 49% versus roughly 33% for the united centre-right.
  • The Valle d'Aosta presidency will be decided by the newly elected 35-member council, and no group appears on track to the 42% threshold that triggers a majority bonus.
