The election was won by the centre-right coalition's incumbent president, Marco Marsilio of Brothers of Italy, over the independent centre-left coalition candidate, Luciano D'Amico, an economist and professor at the University of Teramo, 53.5% to 46.5%.

The centre-left coalition, which remains divided at the national level but came from an upset win and gain in the 2024 Sardinian regional election, included both the Five Star Movement and the Action and Italia Viva parties.

Despite this combination, known as campo larghissimo, it was not enough for the opposition to win in Abruzzo, although it lost by 7% in what was the fourth most right-wing region of Italy.

[3] The electoral law is based on proportional representation and is thus proportional to the share of the votes each party receives, with an electoral threshold of 4% of the vote for parties that are not members of coalitions and 2% for those included in a coalition.

Every candidate must be linked to a party list or an electoral coalition running for the Regional Council.
