Right-wing parties won the election in Italy on Sunday.
Giorgia Meloni, the leader of the largest right-wing party, Brothers of Italy, would become the country’s first woman prime minister.
She would lead the first right-wing government since Silvio Berlusconi stepped down in 2011, and the most right-wing government since the end of World War II.
The elections were called when Prime Minister Mario Draghi lost the confidence of parliament in July. He did not run for reelection.
All 400 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 200 elected seats in the Senate were contested.
Turnout, at 64 percent, was the lowest since Benito Mussolini rigged the election of 1924.
