ITALY
The centre-right coalition (CDX) has published the distribution of candidacies for the 147 FPTP seats in the Chamber of Deputies and the 74 FPTP seats in the Senate ahead of the 25 September legislative election. The right-wing nationalist Brothers of Italy (FdI) have been assigned the most constituency candidacies as the most popular party from the coalition according to opinion polling.
- Distribution as follows:
- Brothers of Italy (Fratelli d'Italia, FdI) - 59 Chamber seats, 36 Senate seats
- League (Lega) - 44 Chamber seats, 23 Senate seats
- Forza Italia (Forward Italy, FI) - 33 Chamber seats, 11 Senate seats
- Us Moderates (Noi Moderati, NM) - 11 Chamber seats, 4 Senate seats
- The intention of distributing the first-past-the-post seats is to avoid parties from the same coalition contesting against one another.
- The remaining 253 Chamber seats and 126 Senators are decided via national proportional representation/abroad constituencies.
- As can be seen from the graphic below, the former Deputy PM Matteo Salvini's League (formerly the Northern League) has its FPTP seats concentrated largely in the wealthy north of Italy. Former PM Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right Forza Italia's candidacies lardely concentrated around its historic heartlands in the south of Italy and Sicily, while Giorgia Meloni's FdI's candidacies run the breadth of the country.
