In a significant political development in Liguria, the center-left coalition is moving towards a unified candidacy for the upcoming regional elections.

Andrea Orlando, a former minister and prominent figure in the Democratic Party (PD), has emerged as the leading candidate.

This comes after the Five Star Movement (M5S), led by Giuseppe Conte, expressed strong support for Orlando's candidacy.

Despite some initial tensions and disagreements, particularly concerning the involvement of Italia Viva in the coalition, progress has been made.

The M5S, represented by Senator Luca Pirondini, has officially announced their backing for Orlando, emphasizing a shared vision for the region's future.

The center-right, meanwhile, is still considering various candidates, including figures from the Lega and local government.

The political landscape in Liguria is poised for a dynamic contest as parties finalize their strategies.
