In Calabria it was decisive to be able to bring people to the vote. The post-electoral analysis of SWG’s “Special Radar” for Gazzetta del Sud, conducted between 22 September and 6 October, also seems to confirm this. In the sample weighed on the official results, 58% of those entitled did not vote (the figure takes into account the socio-demographic composition of the sample and not only of the overall numerical data, while the real abstention, by data of the Interior Ministry, was 56.15%): almost six out of ten Calabrians. Participation is therefore the key to reading Roberto Occhiuto’s confirmation at the helm of the Region.
According to the report, Occhiuto collected 24% of the overall electoral body, against 18% of Tridic. In absolute numbers, the center -right coalition obtained 454 thousand votes, against the 331 thousand of the center -left. The outgoing governor gained about 22 thousand consensus compared to 2021, while Tridico lost almost 30 thousand compared to the voters who then chose Bruni, De Magistris or Oliverio.
The first political data that emerged concerns the different compactness of the two sides. The voters of Forza Italia, brothers of Italy and Lega supported Occhiuto in bulk, while Tridico was unable to fully mobilize the progressive area.
