In early August, Davide Vasta, the mayor of Riposto and a current member of the Sicilian Regional Assembly, launched his campaign for the 2027 regional elections under the Sud Chiama Nord list. De Luca characterized Vasta as a “pioneer” and a “gentleman” capable of providing competent leadership. By the end of August, the movement continued to strengthen its regional presence. In Sommatino, municipal councilor Gioacchino Mulone joined the movement, bolstering its position in the Caltanissetta province. In Messina, the movement finalized its candidate lists, introducing new candidates Nadia Rivetti and Filippo Iannelli, while appointing Maria Fernanda Gervasi as the new provincial coordinator. The movement has set a target to achieve a 40% vote share to establish itself as a decisive force in Sicilian and national politics. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-31: Sud Chiama Nord expands political presence in Sicily The Sud Chiama Nord movement is strengthening its political presence in Sicily through new memberships in Sommatino and the completion of candidate lists in Messina. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sud-chiama-nord-expands-political-presence-in-sicily ### 2026-08-03: Davide Vasta launches campaign for Sicilian regional assembly with Sud Chiama Nord Davide Vasta, mayor of Riposto and Assembly member, launched his campaign for the 2027 Sicilian regional election on the Sud Chiama Nord list supporting Cateno De Luca’s presidential bid. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/davide-vasta-launches-campaign-for-sicilian-regional-assembly-with-sud-chiama-nord --- Cite as: Sud Chiama Nord political expansion in Sicily.
