Overview

• The Tar Abruzzo partially upheld an appeal challenging the 2024 municipal vote and annulled the official proclamations for mayor and council members.
• The court identified procedural irregularities and mandated a new vote in 27 polling sections across Pescara.
• Centre-right incumbent Carlo Masci had originally won with 51% of the vote while centre-left challenger Carlo Costantini received 34.2%.
• Pescara’s current municipal government will continue handling routine administration and urgent matters until fresh results are declared.
• The ruling arrives almost one year after the 2024 election, extending uncertainty over the city’s confirmed leadership.
