Giovanni Toti Us Moderates Marco Bucci Independent The 2024 Ligurian regional election is taking place in Liguria, Italy on 27–28 October 2024.
[2][3] Bucci won the electoral competition by outperforming his opponent in Ventimiglia, Sanremo, Rapallo among other centers where his coalition reached 50 and 60% of the votes, while Orlando performed strongly in Genova, despite Bucci being the city mayor there, and his home town of La Spezia, while also winning in Savona as well.
The race brought significant attention as it was considered a test for the national government but also for the center-right coalition in the region.
The remaining 6 councillors are assigned as a majority bonus if the winning candidate has less than 18 seats, otherwise they are distributed among the losing coalitions.
[6][7] Orlando's strength in Savona can be attributed to opposition to a regasification plant in nearby Vado Ligure that former president Toti had proposed to build in a protected sea area.
