With just over 130 thousand those entitled to vote, Cagliari is called to the polls on Saturday 8 is Sunday 9 June, just over three months from the regional elections of 25 February, for the choice of the new mayor. The race for Palazzo Bacaredda, the historic seat of the town hall in the capital in the central Via Roma, sees five candidates for mayor: Alessandra Zedda (centre-right), Massimo Zedda (centre-left – Campo largo), Joseph Farris (CiviCA 2024), Emanuela Corda (Alternative) e Claudia Ortu (Popular Cagliari).
Who are the mayoral candidates?
Alessandra Zeddaformer vice-president of Christian Solinas’ region, who later resigned, after a long militancy in Forza Italia, was nominated by the League and is supported by the entire centre-right, including the Sardinian action party which returned after announcing the split due to the failed candidacy of its own exponent.
Massimo Zeddaalready mayor for a term and a half, resigned in 2019 to run for the presidency of the region against Solinas, losing and opting for the seat in the regional council instead of continuing the legislature in the municipality. The regional elections were accompanied by the race of up to a month after the vote Renato Soruand then returned to the broad field that united him as a candidate for mayor.
There are also two exponents of the centre-right and centre-left to challenge Joseph Farriswith a single civic list, Emanuela Cordaformer 5 stars, and finally Claudia Ortu. In the last two electoral rounds there was no need to go to a run-off.

The trend has only slightly attenuated in the regional elections of February 25th when 55.3% of voters went to the polls in the capital.
