Italy’s national elections Sunday looked set to result in strong support for right-wing and populist parties, according to initial exit polls, but not enough to crown a clear winner -- suggesting that a hung parliament and lengthy negotiations are the most likely immediate outcome.
An exit poll by RAI state television found that a right-wing coalition, consisting of former premier Silvio Berlusconi's center-right Forza Italia party along with the anti-migration League and Brothers of Italy, would have the most votes with 33-36 percent in the lower house, but were unlikely to turn that into a working majority.
The RAI poll, reported by Italian news wire ANSA, found that Forza Italia was running neck-and-neck with the League, led by firebrand Matteo Salvini. Salvini and Berlusconi had agreed that if their coalition took power, then whichever party had the most votes would be prime minister. Berlusconi has tipped European Parliament President Antonio Tajani as his pick should Forza Italia be the largest party in the coalition.
