[3] In January 2024, the Regional Council of Piedmont approved the decree that dated the Piedmontese election to 9 June 2024.

[4][5] The rise of Brothers of Italy, which culminated in the party leading the centre-right coalition and the formation of the Meloni government after the 2022 Italian general election, caused division within the centre-right coalition going into the 2024 Sardinian regional election, where Brothers of Italy obtained their candidate.

This put in question the re-election bids of other centre-right coalition's regional presidents, including in Piedmont.

[8] Among the national and regional opposition, the Democratic Party and the Five Star Movement were divided over the Piedmontese candidate.

In Basilicata, Domenico Lacerenza, the Five Star Movement's preferred candidate in Basilicata, was forced to withdraw his candidacy, and although the Five Star Movement ultimately reached an agreement with the centre-left coalition, Action and Italia Viva had joined the centre-right coalition, a situation that could repeat itself in Piedmont;[17] Action leader Carlo Calenda said that no decision was made on whether to support Cirio.
