Overview

• Projections and partial counts converge on Roberto Occhiuto at roughly 58–60% against Pasquale Tridico at about 36–41%, with Francesco Toscano around 1–2%.
• Final turnout stands at 43.14% versus 44.36% in 2021, after an early 29.08% snapshot that used a broader electorate denominator including AIRE registrants.
• Tridico conceded by phone and thanked supporting parties, as PD, M5S and Avs leaders opened post‑vote reviews of the centre‑left’s united ticket.
• National centre‑right leaders Giorgia Meloni, Antonio Tajani and Matteo Salvini praised the result, framing it as confirmation of the coalition’s appeal before further regional tests.
• The vote followed Occhiuto’s July resignation after receiving an avviso di garanzia from Catanzaro prosecutors, a move he cast as seeking a renewed mandate.
