Donato Toma is the new
governor of Molise after the centre right candidate won Sunday's
election in the southern region - the first major test of voter
sentiment since last month's inconclusive general election.
According to almost-final results, Toma won 43.46% of the
vote, compared to 38.5% for Andrea Greco of the
anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5s).
The Democratic Party's woes continued, with centre-left
candidate Carlo Veneziale way back with 17.1%.
Agostino Di Giacomo of the far-right Casapound party got
0.42.
