THE upcoming general elections to the Italian parliament are especially vital with political analysts, politicians, and the general public wondering if it will bring an end to the crisis of governance in the country.
All 400 seats in the chamber of deputies and all 200 elective seats in the senate of the republic are up for grabs on September 25. The elections are taking place due to the collapse of the Mario Draghi-led government, long before the completion of the tenure of the current parliament.
All major political parties and their coalitions are competing in the elections, including the right-wing League led by Matteo Salvini, the social democratic Democratic Party (PD) led by Enrico Letta, and the populist Five Star Movement (M5S) led by Giuseppe Conte.
