The ballot in Samarate Samarate Puricelli Ferrazzi
In Samarate the ballot pits the outgoing mayor Enrico Puricelli against Alessandro Ferrazzi: the vote comes after a rather eventful week, animated by controversy. Puricelli, supported by the three centre-right parties, starts with 42% of votes and expects to recover the electorate that voted for the centre-right in the European elections but was not convinced in the municipal elections. Alessandro Ferrazzi took 29% in the first round but made alliance agreements with the 5 Star Movement and two civic lists, which also intercepted part of the centre-right votes on 8-9 June. A scenario that makes the outcome uncertain.
The ballot in Malnate Cannito Damiani
The run-off in Malnate will see the centre-right candidate Sandro Damiani (Fratelli d’Italia, Forza Italia, Lega and Malnate Ideale) and the centre-left candidate Nadia Cannito (Pd and three civic lists) as challengers. In the first round, also thanks to the good results obtained by the civic leaders Irene Bellifemine – outgoing mayor – and Paola Cassina, the gaps were minimal. Damiani obtained 31.38% of the votes (2383) while Cannito 27.65% (2100). In view of the run-off there were no similarities with Bellifemine and Cassina who left their voters free to vote without giving any indications. The game is open.
