Walter Calogero Tesauro, from the centre-right, is on his way to victory in the run-off in Caltanissetta; her advantage (52.84%), when three sections (53 out of 56) are missing at the end of the count, is almost six percentage points compared to her opponent Annalisa Maria Petitto (47.16%), a civic candidate also supported by the Democratic Party albeit without a symbol.
Between the two candidates, at the moment, just over a thousand preferences of detachment. Tesauro has currently collected 10,015 votes; Petitto 8,938.
So in the first round
In the capital of Nisseno the two challengers, Walter Tesauro had closed the first round with 34.42%. Annalisa Petitto, however, had collected 30.82% of the votes. No connection for Tesauro, despite the meetings in recent days with the outgoing mayor of the M5S, Roberto Gambino, who received almost 28% of the votes in the first round. Tesauro’s team is the one presented in the first round: Calogero Adornetto (Fi), Guido Del Popolo on the mayor’s list, Gianluca Bruzzaniti and Toti Petrantoni for FdI, Giovanna Candura vice mayor, Oscar Aiello Lega, Angelo Fasulo from Gela and Saverio Romano at altitude Noi Moderati, Gero Valenza of Mussomeli, at altitude Dc.
New entries instead for Annalisa Petitto. Among the designated councilors were Angelo Failla, who in the first round was among the mayoral candidates, Paola Sanfilippo and Giancarlo Larocca, from the “Future and Democratic Caltanissetta” list, and Salvatore Alù, candidate from the “Nisseno Pride” list. Confirmed are the deputy mayor Salvatore Licata and the councilors Alberto Calafato, Leyla Montagnino, Vincenzo Cancelleri and Carmelo Milazzo. Meanwhile, unlike what happened in Gela, in Caltanissetta there was no marriage between the Five Star Movement and the Democratic Party.
In Gela Terenziano Di Stefano comes close to success
Terenziano Di Stefano is preparing to be the new mayor of Gela. The data that are not yet definitive at the moment reward him and give him an ever-increasing gap compared to the other candidate for the mayor’s seat, that is, the engineer Grazia Cosentino.
The center-right has been defeated. Voters placed their trust in the progressive-civic project. Already the autonomist leader Raffaele Lombardo congratulates “the new mayor Di Stefano”.
