Giani Re-Elected Tuscany President in Double-Digit Win as Turnout Hits New Low

The outcome confirms the center-left’s hold in Tuscany, signaling a reshaped party balance.

Overview

  • Eugenio Giani secured a second term with roughly 55% of the vote, defeating center-right challenger Alessandro Tomasi at about 40% based on projections and early counts.
  • Voter participation fell to 47.73%, the lowest recorded for Tuscan regional elections and down from 62.2% in 2020.
  • The Partito Democratico led at about 34–36% while Fratelli d’Italia rose to roughly 26–27%; the Casa Riformista/Lista Giani list scored around 8–9%, outpacing Forza Italia and becoming the third force.
  • The Lega collapsed to roughly 4–5% and the M5S hovered around the same range, as Toscana Rossa’s Antonella Bundu drew near 5% and sat around the representation threshold.
  • Elly Schlein hailed the result as validation of the progressive alliance, Giorgia Meloni congratulated Giani, and turnout varied widely, with Florence, Prato and Pisa above 50% and Lucca, Massa Carrara and Livorno near 40%; Pistoia recorded relatively higher city turnout.
