Political shifts and electoral analysis in Italian municipalities

In Favara, an analysis of the 2021 local elections reveals a significant disconnect between mayoral votes and party list support. Antonio Palumbo secured the mayoralty with 64.76% in the runoff, despite his lists receiving only 15.5% of the total vote. This indicates that a large number of voters chose the individual candidate rather than a specific coalition. The data shows that the center-right coalition, which represented approximately 84% of the organized electorate, suffered a loss due to internal fragmentation between various lists.

In Carbonia, local councilor Diego Fronterrè has expressed frustration after being moved to the Mixed Group. Fronterrè, a member of the “Morittu Sindaco” list that contributed to Pietro Morittu’s victory, criticized the lack of communication regarding his change in political grouping. This shift follows recent movements within the municipal council, including other councilors joining the “Partito democratico per Pietro Morittu sindaco” group.
